Troubleshooting guide

Migrating to Novell eDirectory 61
-
add:objectclasses
objectclasses : (2.5.6.0 NAME ’top’ STRUCTURAL MAY cn)
Use the following Novell Import Conversion Export command line:
ice -SLDIF -f LDIF_file_name -DLDAP -s eDirectory_server -p eDirectory_port
-d eDirectory_Admin_DN -w eDirectory_password
For example:
ice -SLDIF -f topsch.ldf -DLDAP -s edir_srv2 -p edir_port2 -d
cn=admin,o=org -w pwd1
 Method 2:
1. In Novell iManager, click the Roles and Tasks button .
2. Click Schema > Add Attribute.
3. In the Available Classes list, select Top, then click OK.
4. Double-click CN in the Available Optional Attributes list.
5. Click OK.
 Some objectClass definitions contain
userPassword as part of their mandatory attributes list.
Adding such objectClasses to eDirectory cause the following error:
LDAP error : 16 (No such attribute)
To resolve this error, modify the objectClass definition to inherit the new objectClass from
ndsLoginProperties and remove the userPassword attribute from the mandatory attribute
list.
For example:
An objectClass containing
userPassword in the mandatory attributes list:
version : 1
dn: cn=schemaz
changetype: modify
add: objectClasses
objectClasses: ( 0.9.2342.19200300.100.4.19 NAME ’simpleSecurityObject’ DESC ’
Standard LDAP objectClass’ SUP top STRUCTURAL MUST userPassword )
Needs to be modified as following (notice the change to the last line):
version : 1
dn: cn=schema
changetype: modify
add: objectClasses
objectClasses: ( 0.9.2342.19200300.100.4.19 NAME ’simpleSecurityObject’ DESC ’
Standard LDAP objectClass’ SUP (ndsLoginProperties $ top) STRUCTURAL )
10.1.3 Step 3: Import the LDIF File
Use the following Novell Import Conversion Export command to import the modified schema
compare LDIF file (
err.ldf in our example):
ice -e error_file -SLDIF -f modified_LDIF_file -DLDAP -s eDirectory_server -p
eDirectory_port -d eDirectory_Admin_DN -w eDirectory_password
For example:
ice -e errors.ldf -SLDIF -f err.ldf -DLDAP -s edir_srv2 -p edir_port2 -d
cn=admin,o=org -w pwd1
