Re: How can I set an LDAP-attribute to "null" (empty)?

Hello,

to fill data into an LDAP-structure, I use the software HP Connect IT. Sometimes it is necessary to clear an attribute.

But there is the following error message:

Error occured while modifiying the entry (LDAP) TelUser value #0 invalid per Syntax LDAP API Invalid Syntax

Can you tell me, what I have to do, so that LDAP accepts an "empty value"?

Nearly no syntax accepts the empty value. What you need to do is delete the attribute using a standard LDAP modify operation. In LDIF:

dn: (the DN) changetype: modify delete: TelUser -

How to do it using that specific software is up to you.
