When I add a new user to Netscapes directory server version 4.0 thru' my program, The symbol I get besides my newly added user is a 'purple sphere' and not a symbol of a 'purple person' which is besides all other users added using the consol. What is the difference between these two entries? Does that mean the entry I added is not a user but comes under 'others' option? What should I do to make it a user? --------Code I used------------------ Attributes attrs = new BasicAttributes(true); // Ignore case attrs.put("objectclass", "top"); attrs.put("objectclass", "person"); attrs.put("objectclass", "organizationalPerson"); attrs.put("objectclass", "inetOrgPerson"); attrs.put("uid", "new"); attrs.put("userpassword", "new"); attrs.put("cn", "new"); attrs.put("sn", "new"); Context result = ctx.createSubcontext("uid=new, ou=Contractors, ou=People", attrs); _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
