Missing or invalid value for DN

Hi all,

I've setup an OpenLDAP server and can ldapadd, ldapmodify all day long.

But when I try to use Webmin to add a user from scratch or by cloning them and changing attribute values, I get

Missing or invalid value for DN

How can I make Webmin like my LDAP?

To add users, I click on the Server menu and then the LDAP Server submenu. There, I see Browse Database where I can add/modify.

An example of my database via ldapsearch;

extended LDIF

#

LDAPv3 base <dc=company,dc=com> with scope subtree filter: (objectclass=*) requesting: ALL

company.com

dn: dc=company,dc=com dc: company objectClass: top objectClass: domain

People, company.com

dn: ou=People,dc=company,dc=com ou: People objectClass: top objectClass: organizationalUnit

Groups, company.com

dn: ou=Groups,dc=company,dc=com ou: Groups objectClass: top objectClass: organizationalUnit

staff, Groups, company.com

dn: cn=staff,ou=Groups,dc=company,dc=com objectClass: posixGroup objectClass: top cn: staff gidNumber: 20

I decided to use System -&gt; LDAP Users and Groups which worked great.
