Troubles with binary attributes
Hello,
I'm (still) migrating from 1.2 to 2.x. Today's problem
concerns binary attributes. I am trying to add binary data from LDIF (from
the 1.x directory)
binattr::
CICAgAiACAiAgAiACAiACAiACICACAgIg.......
I redefined this
attribute like so:
attributeType
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1765.9902 NAME 'binattr'
SYNTAX
1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.5 )
But when I try to
add it:
ldap_add
......
dn:
......
binattr::
CICAgAiACAiAgAiACAiACAiACICACAgIg.......
I get the following:
ldap_modify:
Undefined attribute type
additional info: attribute requires ;binary transfer
==========================================================================
First, does the
;binary means I must specify a file (cannot use the LDIF output from
1.2) ?
Second, the
attribute type is defined for this operation, so I guess the "Undefined
attribute type" message is misleading, right?
Third, must I modify
my client code to use "binattr;binary"?
Thanks in
advance
Steve

The trouble about arguments is, they ain't nothing
but theories, after all, and theories don't prove nothing, they only give you a
place to rest on a spell when you are tuckered out butting around and around
trying to find out something there ain't no way to find out. -- Mark Twain
