add_s: ldap.INVALID_DN_SYNTAX

[Ervin Hegedüs]

Hello,

here is an Ubuntu Server box (6.06) with python 2.4, python-ldap
2.0.4, and slapd 2.2.26 - all of these from Ubuntu package.

Here is an application, what runs by crontab in every minutes. It
looks a list, and if list was modified, it modifies LDAP tree. (List
generated by a directory's items.) Early version of that app use to
add an entry OBJECT.add() method, but it was not sync mode, and
crontabs 1 minute was not enough to sync tree.
So I changed to add_s(), and then my application adds entry sync
correctly. But now, when original list modified, and app runs by
crontab, I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/checkftpdir/chkdir.py", line 43, in ?
    L.addEntry(d, base, '')
  File "/usr/local/checkftpdir/Ldapfunctions.py", line 61, in addEntry
    self.l.add_s(_dn, ldif)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ldap/ldapobject.py", line 163, in add_s
    self.result(msgid,all=1,timeout=self.timeout)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ldap/ldapobject.py", line
399, in result
    res_type,res_data,res_msgid = self.result2(msgid,all,timeout)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ldap/ldapobject.py", line
405, in result2
    return self._ldap_call(self._l.result2,msgid,all,timeout)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ldap/ldapobject.py", line 94,
in _ldap_call
    result = func(*args,**kwargs)
ldap.INVALID_DN_SYNTAX: {'info': 'invalid DN', 'desc': 'Invalid DN syntax'}

and entry added correctly to tree. BUT, when I run it interactive, I
_don't_get_any_ error.

del_s() method doesn't give any error, just add_s().

Any suggestion?


Thank you:
