Hi Tod,
As I was trying out the LDAP Studio on other LDAP servers, I pointed it
to the Domino box to see if it would work. When I tried to expand the
baseDn I got the following error "Error while reading entry Empty
Attribute is not allowed!".
Which version of LDAP Studio are you using? In 0.8.0 we fixed some
problems with the empty DN (RootDSE).
Windows version 0.8.1. If anyone gets a chance the current version
might come in handy in Help->About LDAP Studio.
Does the error occur when you just single-click on the baseDN entry to
show the attributes. Or does it occur when you expand the baseDN entry?
Note: a double-click causes both, reading the entrie's attributes and
its children. Please try to do this actions separately, just to isolate
the error.
Both.
I understand the error above but I need more information to track down
the entry(ies) causing that error. It would be helpful if there was a
way to get more details from LDAP Studio so that I could discover the
problem with the directory and remove it, hence my post.
Unfortunately, the logging capabilities in LDAP Studio/Apache Directory
Studio aren't satisfying yet :-(
There are two Jira issues about logging and error handling:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSTUDIO-155
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSTUDIO-150
Could you please add a comment with your special case so that we don't
forget that case when fix the issues?
Sure, no problem.
In the meantime you could take a look to the log file. It is located
under <HOME>/ldapstudio/.metadata/.log
You could also perform a search, starting at the base DN with one-level
scope and no returning attributes. Then you could click to every search
result entry to see if you could read them.
Another idea is to record the transfered search request and response
using Wireshark. Perhaps you could post such a dump here or just create
another Jira and attach the dump.
I will give these suggestions a try and get back to the list by weeks
end. I'll probably Jira the network dump.
Incidentally, I just tried this on ADS and I get a "Error while reading
entry, Unprocessed Continuation Reference(s)" error when trying to
expand its baseDn. That's probably better saved for a separate thread...
I guess you mean Active Directory with "ADS"? (Apache Directory Server
uses the same acronym)
Yes sorry, no disrespect intended :)
If it helps your efforts I've been using Jarek Gawor's LDAP browser for
what seems like the last 10 years. I've not found anything faster or
better until I gave this one a shot. The Eclipse interface was a great
decision and the tool overall is fantastic. Kudos to the team.
