hi, i was modifying uidNumber attribute of a user but then has been standing for a few minutes and I stopped it:
root@amahoro:~# ldapmodify -x -W -D 'cn=Manager,dc=amahoro,dc=bi' Enter LDAP Password: dn: uid=stefano,cn=Admins,dc=amahoro,dc=bi changetype: modify replace: uidNumber uidNumber: 1001
modifying entry "uid=stefano,cn=Admins,dc=amahoro,dc=bi" . . . ctrl+c
then with an ldapsearch for this user there was not the uidNumber attribute:
dn: uid=stefano,cn=Admins,dc=amahoro,dc=bi uid: stefano cn: Stefano Malini sn: Malini gidNumber: 1000 homeDirectory: /home/Admins/stefano mail: stefano.malini@gmail.com objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: top objectClass: posixAccount objectClass: shadowAccount userPassword:: e1NTSEF9b2pNOG1UT3NrT2ZVaDVyd1pUWUpSeWg3YXNxc1lXSHo= uidNumber: 1001
trying to add it
root@amahoro:~# ldapmodify -x -W -D 'cn=Manager,dc=amahoro,dc=bi' Enter LDAP Password: dn: uid=stefano,cn=Admins,dc=amahoro,dc=bi changetype: add add: uidNumber uidNumber: 1001
adding new entry "uid=stefano,cn=Admins,dc=amahoro,dc=bi" ldap_add: Undefined attribute type (17) additional info: add: attribute type undefined
you can see the error message what is wrong?
