Description Evgenia Martynyuk 2023-01-27 09:35:53 UTC 
Description of problem:
When you create an entry with dsidm, the OU where this entry is placed must exist. However, this information, and the required OUs are neither mentioned in --help, the man page, nor does the error message contains any hint.

Suggestion:
* dsidm should mention the required OUs both in --help and the man page.
* It would be nice if the error message could show a meaningful error:
  > Error: 105 - 4 - 32 - No such object - [] - dc=example,dc=com
  It's really not self-explaining that it means that ou={people,group,...} is missing
