Hi,

I have configured a openldap2.4.25 server on RHEL5.4 and added few users to the ldap. I want to assign password to the user and I am trying it out this way, but getting Naming violation error

[root@dtr98 bin]# ldappasswd -xvv -D "cn=Manager,dc=comverse-in,dc=com" -W -S "uid=cbsuser,ou=People,dc=comverse-in,dc=com" New password: Re-enter new password: ldap_initialize( <DEFAULT> ) Enter LDAP Password: Result: Naming violation (64) [root@dtr98 bin]#

The user info is [root@dtr98 bin]# ldapsearch -x -LLL -s sub -b "dc=comverse-in,dc=com" "cn=cbsuser" dn: uid=cbsuser,ou=People,dc=comverse-in,dc=com cn: cbsuser objectClass: account objectClass: posixAccount objectClass: top objectClass: shadowAccount uidNumber: 300

the attribute uid: cbuser is missing.
