LDAP : Cannot resolve group *** to gid : not found

Question

During the step User and Group Management in LDAP installation I wrote the following command

sudo ldapadduser george example

and got this error

Cannot resolve group example to gid : not found

Answer 1

You tried to add user george to the group example but this group doesn't exist (yet). See what groups exist or use the command ldapaddgroup example first (this should report an error if the group example already exists).
