Omldapsync HowTo - Five

Troubleshooting

UM 1065 - https://bugzilla.scalix.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16535 error 1005: Entry must have a valid global unique id ldap_bind: No such object

[OM 16078] An attribute's value contains invalid characters. Usually this is self-evident but in the case of a PDL with an underscore in the name you may not realize that Scalix does not allow underscores in PDL names. So change the group name in LDAP or Active Directory and remove the underscore.

Handy LDAP commands

omldapsearch

To search an Active Directory domain controller:

# omldapsearch -D cn=Administrator,cn=users,dc=mydomain,dc=net -w secret -h adlab.mydomain.net -b dc=mydomain,dc=net cn=* cn

OpenLDAP

# ldapadd -x -D cn=admin,dc=mydomain,dc=net -w secret -f /tmp/addfile

# ldapmodify -D cn=admin,dc=mydomain,dc=net -w secret -f /tmp/modfile

# ldapdelete -x -D cn=admin,dc=mydomain,dc=net -w secret uid=ppig,dc=mydomain,dc=net

# ldapsearch -x -b dc=mydomain,dc=net cn="donald duck"

SunONE

This will not work:

$ ldapdelete -D "directory manager" -w secret "uid=dduck,dc=mydomain,dc=net"    

but this will:

$ cat /tmp/duckdel
dn: uid=DDuck,dc=mydomain,dc=net
changetype: delete

$ ldapmodify -D "cn=directory manager" -w secret -f /tmp/duckdel

$ ldapmodify -r -D "cn=directory manager" -w secret -f /tmp/duckmod             

$ ldapsearch -b dc=mydomain,dc=net "cn=donald duck"

Active Directory

# ldapsearch -x -h exlab.mydomain.net -b dc=mydomain,dc=net -D "cn=administrator,cn=users,dc=mydomain,dc=net" -w <password>
