Hi,

You might want to spend a little bit of time reading OpenDJ documentation : http://opendj.forgerock.org/opendj-server/doc/bootstrap/admin-guide/index.html#chap-schema

Here is what i am able to do:

1. create my own attributes.
2.Create obejct classe and add my created attribue.

Code runs successfully and i can see class and attributes created.

Now using apache active directory tool i connect to my openDJ,
iwant to add new entry under my ROOT entry.

When i give my object class and assign attributes to it and click on finish it gives following error:

Error while creating entry

Hi,

Based on the error message you see, it looks like your attribute SECURE-OBJ-NAME has guide or maybe enhanced guide syntax.

LDAP: error code 21 – Entry “SECURE-OBJ-NAME=mySecureObj,o=openam” contains a value “mySecureObj” for attribute SECURE-OBJ-NAME that is invalid according to the syntax for that attribute: The provided value “mysecureobj” could not be parsed as a guide value because the criteria portion mysecureobj did not contain a dollar sign to separate the attribute type from the match type

I found these syntaxes described in RFC 4517, https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4517#section-3.3.10 and https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4517#section-3.3.14 . As you can see in the example in section 3.3.10, attributes of that type have quite particular values.

Are you sure you didn’t want to use a more common syntax for your custom attribute, such as directory string? See https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4517#section-3.3.6. Directory string syntax has OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15.

Yes you are right ,that was helpful to understand. I want to use something like Directory string.
This syntax worked for me.

Thanks!
