Hi,

I am trying to import the following ldif file into openldap and get the error message “manager: value #0 invalid per syntax”.

test.ldif:

dn: cn=test,o=users,dc=example,dc=com

objectClass: top

objectClass: person

cn: test

manager: 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.0=#04024869,O=Test,C=GB

Console output:

adding new entry "cn=test,o=users,dc=example,dc=com"

ldap_add: Invalid syntax (21)

                additional info: manager: value #0 invalid per syntax

According to the cosine.schema the value of the manager attribute should have the EQUALITY distinguishedNameMatch, SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.12

The value “1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.0=#04024869,O=Test,C=GB” is taken from the examples provided for DN in rfc2252 and works fine in open-ds. So I would expect it to work in openldap as well.

What am I missing?
