*Use the ldapadd command to enter this new information into the database(see the Itzgeek tutorial for an example). As before use simple authentication, the distinguished name of the ldap administrator, and get prompted for a password.* Use ldapsearch to confirm that the new users have been added to the database.<br />You should get output similar to the following:
<source>
# extended LDIF
** jane with the UID 10001 and full name Jane Greystoke
** guest with the uid 10002 and full name Andrew's Guests
== INVESTIGATION 3: Authenticating against LDAP ==
* Read the second page of the Itzgeek guide for instructions on how to configure a CentOS machine to authenticate against an LDAP server.
* Follow those instructions for vm1, vm2, and vm3. Make sure that you update the IP address of your server in the arguments to the authconfig command.
* Confirm that you can log in using all three usernames on all your nested VMs (except vm4).
== INVESTIGATION 34: Using Ldif Files ==
An important capability of ldap is the ability to update the information in the database.
*Most updates will be run with specially formatted ldif files. These use the same structure as the files you created to add users, but will be shorter as they will only be changing one attribute.
