++{{B:Add initial entries to your directory}}.
+
+. You can use {{ldapadd}}(1) to add entries to your LDAP directory.
+{{ldapadd}} expects input in LDIF form. We'll do it in two steps:
+
+^^ create an LDIF file
+++ run ldapadd
+
+. Use your favorite editor and create an LDIF file that contains:
+
+..{{EX:dn: dc=<MY-DOMAIN>,dc=<COM>}}
+..{{EX:objectclass: dcObject}}
+..{{EX:objectclass: organization}}
+..{{EX:o: <MY ORGANIZATION>}}
+..{{EX:dc: <MY-DOMAIN>}}
+..{{EX:}}
+..{{EX:dn: cn=Manager,dc=<MY-DOMAIN>,dc=<COM>}}
+..{{EX:objectclass: organizationalRole}}
+..{{EX:cn: Manager}}
+
+. Be sure to replace <MY-DOMAIN> and <COM> with the appropriate domain
+components of your domain name. <MY ORGANIZATION> should be replaced
+with the name of your organization. If you cut and paste, be sure
+to trim any leading and trailing whitespace from the example.
+
+..{{EX:dn: dc=example,dc=com}}
+..{{EX:objectclass: dcObject}}
+..{{EX:objectclass: organization}}
+..{{EX:o: Example Company}}
+..{{EX:dc: example}}
+..{{EX:}}
+..{{EX:dn: cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com}}
+..{{EX:objectclass: organizationalRole}}
+..{{EX:cn: Manager}}
+
+. Now, you may run {{ldapadd}}(1) to insert these entries into
+your directory.
+
+..{{EX:ldapadd -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=<MY-DOMAIN>,dc=<COM>" -W -f example.ldif}}
+
+. Be sure to replace {{EX:<MY-DOMAIN>}} and {{EX:<COM>}} with the
+appropriate domain components of your domain name. You will be
+prompted for the "{{EX:secret}}" specified in {{F:slapd.conf}}.
+For example, for {{EX:example.com}}, use:
+
+..{{EX:ldapadd -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com" -W -f example.ldif}}
+
+. where {{F:example.ldif}} is the file you created above.
+..{{EX: }}
+. Additional informaton regarding directory creation can be found
+in the {{SECT:Database Creation and Maintenance Tools}} chapter of
+this document.
+
+.{{S: }}
++{{B:See if it works}}.
+
+. Now we're ready to verify the added entries are in your directory.
+You can use any LDAP client to do this, but our example uses the
+{{ldapsearch}}(1) tool. Remember to replace {{EX:dc=example,dc=com}}
+with the correct values for your site:
+
+..{{EX:ldapsearch -x -b 'dc=example,dc=com' '(objectclass=*)'}}
+
+. This command will search for and retrieve every entry in the database.
+
+You are now ready to add more entries using {{ldapadd}}(1) or
+another LDAP client, experiment with various configuration options,
+backend arrangements, etc.
+
+Note that by default, the {{slapd}}(8) database grants {{read access
+to everybody}} excepting the {{super-user}} (as specified by the
+{{EX:rootdn}} configuration directive). It is highly recommended
+that you establish controls to restrict access to authorized users.
+Access controls are discussed in the {{SECT:Access Control}} section
+of the {{SECT:The slapd Configuration File}} chapter. You are also
+encouraged to read {{SECT:Security Considerations}}, {{SECT:Using
+SASL}} and {{SECT:Using TLS}} sections.
+
+The following chapters provide more detailed information on making,
+installing, and running {{slapd}}(8).
