Hello List,
I am re-writing some old scripts to take advantage of perl-ldap. I was
working with a script to modify info and it seemed to be working fine.
I wanted to modify the value of the "loginShell" attribute for an
account. It works perfectly for one entry. Then I tested on a second
entry and it fails with the following:
LDAPERROR:89
LDAP_PARAM_ERROR
An invalid parameter was specified
Any ideas or suggestions?
Does your server have the sambasamaccount objectclass loaded?
Yes. I just added it to the DN that I can modify and it still is ok.
That's a possible problem, however I think LDAP_PARAM_ERROR can only be
generated locally by Net::LDAP so the problem's likely in the script.
Typical reasons are:
* attempting to use a control or start_tls with LDAPv2
* passing in a bad filter string
* failing to pass a DN to add/modify/moddn/compare/delete
This turned out to be the problem. The DN that was failing has an ou of
"ou=people" and the working DN has "ou=People". The script had a sanity check
that tested for "People" but did not handle the problem of not getting the
People, when it arose. Made the check case insensitive and all is well.
Now I will need to figure out how to fix the DN's that have a lowercase people.
Many Thanks for all of the responses. Actually pesticides in this case since
it was a bug in my script!
Thanks again.
* passing an unknown change type to modify
* failing to pass a new RDN to moddn
And possibly other ones I've missed!
Extra information will be in the returned $mesg object.
Cheers,
Chris
