The server side error is: 0x5 Access is denied.
Although the above listed error is pretty simple and easy to understand. It is giving the clear information about access rights on the LDAP directory partition but its not very much simple to solve. I was trying to create a partition and important Schema in it but was getting this error. I entered the correct password and user name and also the domain but still was not getting through it. Command and output is listed below:
ldifde -i -f “C:\SM_ADLDS_schema.ldf” -s localhost:389 -b administrator test PASSWORD -k -c “CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,CN=test-partition,DC=TEST,DC=com,DC=pk” #schemaNamingContext
Connecting to “localhost:389”
Logging in as “administrator” in domain “test” using SSPI
Importing directory from file “C:\SM_ADLDS_schema.ldf”
Loading entries.
Add error on entry starting on line 14: Insufficient Rights
The server side error is: 0x5 Access is denied.
The extended server error is:
