Adding a baseDN with GroovyLdap

["St Clair S. Clarke" <st...@flowja.com>]

Hello,

I am attempting to add a baseDN using ApacheDS and Eclipse, but have
been failing miserable.

Below is the attempt.   I would love it if you could help.


package snippets.security.ldap.groovyldap.add

import org.apache.directory.groovyldap.LDAP

class AddEntryDemo
{
    
    static main( args)
    {
        def ldap = LDAP.newInstance('ldap://localhost:10389', 'uid=admin, ou=system' ,'secret')
        
        // add the baseDN as a valid name entry
        def baseDNAttrs = [ objectclass: ['top', 'ou'], sn: 'dc=epims dc=biz', cn: 'epims' ]
        ldap.add( 'ou: epims dc=epims dc=biz', baseDNAttrs)
        
        assert ! ldap.exists('cn=Heather Nova, dc=epims, dc=biz') // checks for previous entry with this dn
        
        
        
        
        // define the attributes as a map
        def attrs = [ objectclass: ['top', 'person'], sn: 'Nova', cn: 'Heather Nova' ]
        
        ldap.add( 'cn=Heather Nova, dc=epims, dc=biz', attrs)
        
        assert ldap.exists('cn=Heather Nova, dc=epims, dc=com')
        
    }
    
    
}

I assume that you have an ApacheDS up and running, and are able to 
connect from Groovy LDAP, i.e.

def ldap = LDAP.newInstance('ldap://localhost:10389', 'uid=admin, 
ou=system' ,'secret')

works without an error.

As far as I understand your requirement, you plan to add a suffix, 
"dc=epims, dc=com", and an entry below that.

Apache Directory Server comes with a default suffix "dc=example,dc=com" 
for demonstration purposes, which maps to a partition (a data store) 
within the configuration.

You therefore have to add a partition for your "dc=epims, dc=com". It is 
not quite common to accomplish this administration task programmatically 
(exception: an emedded server).

See details here

http://directory.apache.org/apacheds/1.5/143-adding-your-own-partition-resp-suffix.html

Please note that this line

def baseDNAttrs = [ objectclass: ['top', 'ou'], sn: 'dc=epims dc=biz', 
cn: 'epims' ]

does not make sense, because sn is an attribute type reprsesenting the 
surname of a person.

Hope this helps,
     StefanZ
