That was most of the error return. The exact error was "error 65 mail not
allowed"

I assume you are using something like LDAP Browser?


Sometimes the client (LDAP Browser in particular) causes issues due to the
order in which it applies items. I have found that some of the clients
don't allow things like changing object classes of existing objects, but
usually work when adding a new object.

I suggest attempting to perform the same addition with another tool, such
as ldapmodify and an LDIF. This will help you determine if you are having
a schema issue, or if you are having a client issue.

Also, if you can provide an error message that is more descriptive than
"error like mail not allowed", you may get better help. The more detailed
the better. You will get more detailed messages and debug info from
ldapmodify (in general) than most GUI-based clients.
