Judging by the error message, it looks like the issue is actually with
line 8. Not sure if that's because slapadd uses zero-indexed line
numbers or if it skips blank lines.

I'm not an OpenLDAP expert, so I can't provide any specific
assistance, but I found this document, which might be more up-to-date
than the wiki:
