Further update:
I have tried to just manually create a new entry within the PERL script
itself, and it fails on different message:
add error: addRequest.addRequest.objectName is undefined at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/Net/LDAP/Message.pm line 178
Here is the code that leads up to the above message (the bind is done a
few lines before, authenticated and it does succeed):
$entry=Net::LDAP::Entry->new();
$entry->add(
'dn'=>'cn=kingr,o=PennLibraryStaff,dc=library,dc=upenn,dc=edu');
$entry->add( 'objectclass'=>
["person","organizationalPerson","inetOrgPerson","posixAccount","upennEduPerson"
]);
$entry->add( 'cn' => "kingr");
$entry->add( 'sn' => "kingr");
$entry->add( 'userid' => "kingr");
$entry->add( 'uidNumber' => "3019");
$entry->add( 'gidNumber' => "100");
$entry->add( 'homeDirectory' => "/home/kingr");
$entry->add( 'userPassword' => "{SHA}6wEWbSyjuY4/gp469HkIAxqj3vs=");
$entry->add( 'loginShell' => "/bin/bash");
$entry->add( 'gecos' => "Richard P. King");
$result=$ldap->add( $entry ) ;
$result->code && die "add error: ", $result->error;
I feel like I'm missing a key detail here. Can anyone see what it is?
Thanks in advance,
Rick

I'm trying to read in a simple LDIF file to add an entry to my LDAP
server. Here is the basic routine (extraneous details omitted for
brevity and security):
$ldif = Net::LDAP::LDIF->new($tmp,"r",onerror => 'warn');
$entry = $ldif->ready_entry();
$ldap = Net::LDAP->new($LDAPSERVER);
$result=$ldap->bind("$binddn",password=>"$bindpass",version=>"3");
$result=$ldap->add($entry);
Now, everything seems to work until I get to the $ldap->add method.
From that I get various versions of the following:
objectclass: value #0 invalid per syntax at ldap.cgi
I can get that error message to change to different attributes, but
basically keeps saying the same thing. I've tried adding the following
just before the $ldap->add but it didn't help:
$entry->add('changetype'=>'add');
I've even gone through a routine to save off the value of each
attribute, do a $entry->delete on the attribute, and then a $entry->add
to re-add the attribute, to no avail.
I've done extensive searching on the web and nothing I've found has
helped, so I'm really hoping someone here can aid me ASAP, for I have to
get this done in the next day or two.
Thanks,
Rick
