Attribute Syntax in Apache 1.5.1

[Tony Thompson <To...@stone-ware.com>]

I have a custom schema installed in Apache 1.5.1.  One of the attributes
has a syntax of 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.34.  When I try to add that
attribute to an object, I get an exception like this:
 
[LDAP: error code 21 - failed to modify entry
cn=parent_grp,ou=swExternal-Users: Attribute value
'CN=wN5e-Calculator-Component,OU=stoneware,dc=stoneware,dc=stone2,dc=org
#0000000b00000001' for attribute 'swarecomponentlayout' is syntactically
incorrect]; remaining name 'cn=parent_grp,ou=swExternal-Users'
 
This worked fine in 1.0.2.  I cannot get it to work in 1.5.1 even with
an LDAP browser.  The attribute is assigned through an AUX class.  Any
thoughts?
 
Thanks
Tony

...dc=org#0000000b00000001'
          ^      ^         ^
          |      |         +--- Missing 'B' here
          |      +--- Unexpected 'b' here
          +--- missing "'" here

So basically, your attribute's value is incorrect.


FYI, ADS 1.0 was not checking attribute value syntax, while ADS 1.5 is.
