Invalid DN errors
Greetings,
I hope this is an appropriate mailing list to ask for some assistance. I
will state up front that my LDAP experience is extremely limited -
essentially noob level.
I've been attempting to set up openldap 2.4.39 on CentOS 6 via the
official distribution packages. The server is up and running, and my
application is connecting successfully, and attempting to add entries to
the directory; so I believe I have the most fundamentals in place like
the directory manager password, and basic base DN. When connecting with
an LDAP browser, I see "dc=valnet,dc=net" which was the configured base DN.
When my application attempts to add to the directory it searches for the
entry, then adds if the entry isn't found. I'm receiving this error:
54760bfd conn=1003 op=971 do_search: invalid dn:
"x500UniqueIdentifier=45270,dc=valnet,dc=net"
54760bfd conn=1003 op=971 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=34 nentries=0
text=invalid DN
54760bfd conn=1003 op=972 do_add: invalid dn
(x500UniqueIdentifier=45270,dc=valnet,dc=net)
54760bfd conn=1003 op=972 RESULT tag=105 err=34 text=invalid DN
I suspect that I am missing some sort of extremely basic configuration
item, but I've been having a very very difficult time locating relevant
documentation - everything I find in my searches references the old
style configuration, not the new style LDIF configuration with cn=config
directories, nor have I found any information about how to troubleshoot
an "invalid DN" error. It appears that I may be missing a schema file
such as inetOrgPerson or nis.
The application is attempting to create entries with these attributes:
Primary Key: x500UniqueIdentifier
Attributes: cn, uid, sn, givenname, userPassword, dn, x500UniqueIdentifier
I would appreciate some basic guidance as to what to do, or some
direction to the proper documentation or guide for solving "invalid DN"
while attempting to add entries to the directory.
