OpenLDAP with JNDI : java.naming.NameNotFoundException

["Susmitha Vuyyuru" <susmitha.vuyyuru@portalwave.com>]

Hi all,

I have installed OpenLDAP on a NT server 4.0, and was able to run it and do
ldapsearch, and slapadd to the directory.

I am now trying to use JNDI API to access the directory data. I was able to
do a search.

But when I used the JNDi API to get
attributes: ----------------------------------------------------------------
-----------
        ........
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
"com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ldap://localhost:389";);
String attrs[] = new String[1];

DirContext ctx=new InitialDirContext(env);
Attributes attr= ctx.getAttributes("cn=BB" attrs);
                ........................

whenever I run
java Getattrs

I get the following errors:

Getattrs example failed
java.naming.NameNotFoundException: [LDAP error code 32 - No Such Object];
remaining name 'cn=BB

a:124)
           at Getattrs.main(Getattrs.java:77)


It compiles fine when I use ctx.search("c=DE"); and displays the expected
result.....

I am not sure if the problem is with getAttributes() method OR SOMETHING
ELSE.

Can anyone please help me out???

thanks in advance.
