The object class violation is simply that a required attribute,
CN, didn't exist as an attribute of the entry.  The fact that
an attribute value used for naming doesn't exist is yet another
error, a naming violation.  OpenLDAP doesn't (yet) detect naming
violations.

3rd party application is broken if attempts to create entries
which violate schema or naming rules.
