Why is objectClass attribute different from others?

[piloud]

Hello,

I was trying to create new entry on my LDAP, the process always running into

objectclass: value #0 invalid per syntax

Here is the error stack:

org.springframework.ldap.InvalidAttributeValueExce ption: [LDAP: error code 21 - objectClass: value #0 invalid per syntax]

I drop one level down, I can go and modify/remove/replace attribute, it works well with any other attribute but not for 'objectclass'. I got an error

I am wonder why is objectClass different from other fields. So if I am going to create new cn entry with all the required objectclass (like in my oldap, there 3 objectclass required), how do I do it without having those exception??

Please help!

We need more information. Post your configuration and the code where you perform the LDAP operations. Also please tell us what directory server you use.

Thanks! ulsa

I use openldap v3.


And after successfully connect to the oldap server (I am able to do search)

I tried to add new entry by doing

ldapTemplate.bind(dn, null, buildAttributes(newEntry)

I read more about the schema definition of 'objectclass' and found that my 3 objectclass:

inetOrgPerson, posixAccount, top

have dependency on other required fields.

So I add all the required fields into the newEntry, I got a different error shows

Thanks a lot!

Hi, all,

Thanks all for look into this.

I got the issue resolved. I think add entry in oldap is different from what my thinking is. It require you put the new cn name in dn even though it has not exist yet. Which I have my entry inserted correctly.

Thanks!
