Trying to get "changetype: moddn" to work



OpenLDAP 2.3.32.

ldapmodify -v ... << EOF
dn: cn=dhtest,dc=coreng,dc=com,dc=au
changetype: moddn
newrdn: cn=dhtest1
deleteoldrdn: 0
EOF

generates:

ldap_initialize( ldap://xxx... )
Enter LDAP Password: 
modifying rdn of entry "cn=dhtest,dc=coreng,dc=com,dc=au"
        new RDN: "cn=dhtest1" (keep existing values)
rename completed
ldap_rename: No such object (32)
        matched DN: dc=coreng,dc=com,dc=au

Is this a supported operation?

Similarly, keeping the RDN but moving it to a new hierarchy with:

ldapmodify -v ... << EOF
dn: cn=dhtest,dc=coreng,dc=com,dc=au
changetype: moddn
newrdn: cn=dhtest
deleteoldrdn: 1
newsuperior: ou=systems,dc=coreng,dc=com,dc=au
EOF

generates:

ldap_initialize( ldap://xxx... )
Enter LDAP Password: 
modifying rdn of entry "cn=dhtest,dc=coreng,dc=com,dc=au"
        new RDN: "cn=dhtest" (do not keep existing values)
rename completed
ldap_rename: No such object (32)
        matched DN: dc=coreng,dc=com,dc=au
