I know what the problem is. I am not able to create an ou entry under Root DSE.
When I tried again to create this new ou under ou=system, the new entry was added fine. -----Original Message----- From: Michael [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, November 15, 2016 9:20 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Behavior Question I am currently using ApacheDS 2.0.0 plugins for Eclipse in Eclipse Neon. In the LDAP perspective I tried entering a new ou entry under the Root DSE. When I clicked the Finish button on the last dialog I received an error message: ERR_04188 The type cannot be empty or null Error while creating entry - [LDAP: error code 32 - NO_SUCH_OBJECT: failed for MessageType : ADD_REQUES Message ID : 14 Add Request : Entry dn[n]: ou=authstore objectClass: top objectClass: organizationalUnit objectClass: extensibleObject ou: authstore : ERR_268 Cannot find a partition for ou=authstore] at org.apache.directory.studio.connection.core.io.api.DirectoryApiConnectionWra pper.checkResponse(DirectoryApiConnectionWrapper.java:1276) at org.apache.directory.studio.connection.core.io.api.DirectoryApiConnectionWra pper.access$9(DirectoryApiConnectionWrapper.java:1244) at org.apache.directory.studio.connection.core.io.api.DirectoryApiConnectionWra pper$6.run(DirectoryApiConnectionWrapper.java:926) at org.apache.directory.studio.connection.core.io.api.DirectoryApiConnectionWra pper.runAndMonitor(DirectoryApiConnectionWrapper.java:1171) at org.apache.directory.studio.connection.core.io.api.DirectoryApiConnectionWra pper.checkConnectionAndRunAndMonitor(DirectoryApiConnectionWrapper.java:1107 ) at org.apache.directory.studio.connection.core.io.api.DirectoryApiConnectionWra pper.createEntry(DirectoryApiConnectionWrapper.java:948) at org.apache.directory.studio.ldapbrowser.core.jobs.CreateEntryRunnable.create Entry(CreateEntryRunnable.java:225) at org.apache.directory.studio.ldapbrowser.core.jobs.CreateEntryRunnable.run(Cr eateEntryRunnable.java:124) at org.apache.directory.studio.connection.ui.RunnableContextRunner$1.run(Runnab leContextRunner.java:116) at org.eclipse.jface.operation.ModalContext$ModalContextThread.run(ModalContext .java:119) Before I received this message the Root DSE entry in the LDAP Browser tab had four entries (I did not notice the count) and after the error the Root DSE entry still shows only the original four entries (the entry I added of course is not shown because of the error) but the count now shows 5, as if the entry in error was added. Can anyone please explain: 1) Why I received this error 2) Why the entry count for the Root DSE node appears to have been updated for the new entry that was in error Thank you, Mike
