Re: ldap_add: Operations error (FreeBSD/openldap-2.0.25_1)

["Kurt D. Zeilenga" <Kurt@OpenLDAP.org>]

I've added to FAQ entries regarding the OperationsError and
Other result codes:
  http://www.openldap.org/faq/index.cgi?file=746
  http://www.openldap.org/faq/index.cgi?file=747 

In short, other error (and operationsError in some versions)
is used to indicate an internal error.  The additional information
provided with the result code may provide some hint, but generally
one has to consult the server's logs.
