PHP 4.0 Bug #7228: Problems when using the ldap_add() function

From: christoffer.leitet@thewhitebird.com Operating system: Linux 2.2.16 (slackware) PHP version: 4.0.2 PHP Bug Type: LDAP related Bug description: Problems when using the ldap_add() function This script is copypasted (and modifyed for my system) from the manual, and reproduces the error on my system.. <?php $ds=ldap_connect("iplanet.server.com"); // assuming the LDAP server is on this host if ($ds) { // bind with appropriate dn to give update access $r=ldap_bind($ds,"cn=Directory Manager", "secret"); // prepare data $info["cn"]="John Jones"; $info["sn"]="Jones"; $info["mail"]="jonj@here.and.now"; $info["objectclass"]="person"; // add data to directory $r=ldap_add($ds, "cn=John Jones, o=whitebird", $info); ldap_close($ds); } else { echo "Unable to connect to LDAP server"; } ?> This script generates the error somewhat like: Warning: LDAP: add operation could not be completed. in /home/leitet/public_html/Beta1/functions/func.inc.php on line 17 When I use a ldap_modify() call, it works, and the designated attribute I want to change is changed. But when I first use the function for updating the directory using ldap_modify() and then use the ldap_add() function, both fails giving: LDAP: modify operation could not be completed and LDAP: add operation could not be completed. I have a "out of the box" php.ini. Have compiled LDAP support into php by using openldap, and connects to a Netscape Directory Server in order to try to update it.. The mentioned fuctions follows: // Update number of entries function update_number_of_entries($ds,$ldap_default_path) { $data1 = "nsnumdomains"; $aa="(objectClass=*)"; $sr=ldap_read($ds, $ldap_default_path, $aa); $entry = ldap_first_entry($ds, $sr); $value = ldap_get_values($ds, $entry, $data1); $value[0]++; $data[nsnumdomains] = $value[0]; ldap_modify($ds,$ldap_default_path,$data); } function insert_domain($ds,$domain,$ldap_default_path,$nrusers,$nrgroups) { // making the domain $ldap_path = "o=$domain, $ldap_default_path"; $data["objectclass"][0] = "top"; $data["objectclass"][1] = "organization"; $data["objectclass"][2] = "nsmanageddomain"; $data["nsnumusers"] = "0"; $data["nsnumdepts"] = "0"; $data["owner"] = "cn=Domain Administrators, o=$domain, $ldap_default_path"; $data["aci"][0] = "(targetattr=\"*\")(targetfilter=(objectclass=nsManagedDept))(version 3.0; acl \"Dept domain administration\"; allow (all) groupdn = \"ldap:///cn=Domain Administrators, o=$domain, $ldap_default_path\";)"; $data["aci"][1] = "(targetattr=\"*\")(targetfilter=(objectclass=nsManagedDomain))(version 3.0; acl \"Domain help desk access\"; allow (read,search) groupdn = \"ldap:///cn=Help Desk Administrators, o=$domain, $ldap_default_path\";)"; $data["aci"][2] = "(targetattr=\"*\")(targetfilter=(objectclass=nsManagedDomain))(version 3.0; acl \"Domain access by Dept. Administrator\"; allow (read,search) groupdn = \"ldap:///cn=Dept Administrators, o=$domain, $ldap_default_path\";)"; $data["aci"][3] = "(targetattr=\"nsNumUsers\")(targetfilter=(objectclass=nsManagedDomain))(version 3.0; acl \"write nsNumUsers by Dept. Administrator\"; allow (write) group dn = \"ldap:///cn=Dept Administrators, o=$domain, $ldap_default_path\";)"; $data["nsmaxdepts"] = "$nrgroups"; $data["o"] = "$domain"; $data["nsmaxusers"] = "$nrusers"; $data["nsdefaultmaxdeptsize"] = "10"; ldap_add($ds,$ldap_path,$data); echo "Making the domain on $ldap_path"; } -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=7228&edit=1
