Thanks Graham.
1. I am using objectClass as an array in the hash. I am getting 'Object
Class violation' in the ldapadd op. Should I be using a 3-D array hash?
$user{'loginShell'} = $loginShell;
$user{'homeDirectory'} = "/home/$sAMAccountName";
$user{'gecos'} = $cn;
$user{'objectClass'} =
['top','shadowAccount','posixAccount','person','account','inetorgperson','or
ganizationalPerson'];
push @add_user,\%user;
2. You are right, I get a flat DN when trying to iterate thru the array of
hashes. How do I make the below code to print the different values that I
pushed in the above code snippet?
code:
my(@add_user)=...@_;
my %value = @_;
foreach $value ( @add_user )
{
$entry = Net::LDAP::Entry->new;
$dn = "uid=".$value->{'uid'}.",ou=People,".$ldap_base;
print "DN:$dn \n";
}
The above code currently prints the last appended value to the output and
due to object class violation LDAP-ADD is throwing error.
Thanks,
Prashanth
