Using modifyRDN to change the OU value of an DN entry, returns "LDAP error: Protocol error". Using the rename.pl example provided with the library, the error is the same. Having an LDAP entry with the following DN value: dn: cn=frf, ou=est SI, o=UPCNET, c=ES If I call rename.pl with: (connection parameters not supplied) ./rename.pl (...) "cn=frf" "cn=frf, ou=est FIB, o=UPCNET, c=ES" I get the following error: "LDAP error: Protocol error" The only way it works, is if I do the following: ./rename.pl (...) "cn=frf" "cn=anotherValue" and the resulting DN value in the ldap database is: dn: cn=anotherValue, ou=est SI, o=UPCNET, c=ES How could I change the OU value from the DN ? (I'm using perldap v.1.2.2)

This is not a bug. The Netscape (and OpenLDAP) server can only do modify RDN, meaning you can not change the second (or other) DN components. The only DN component that can be changed like this is the RDN, or the naming attribute. Sorry, nothing I can do about this, it's a limitation in the server. The only way to do it is to search for the old entry (get all attributes), delete the entry, modify the DN as you like, and then recreate the new entry. -- Leif
