From the Netscape Directory SDK 3.0 for C docummnetation I can see that the Netscape Directory Server 3.0 currently does not support changing of location of an entry using the 'newParent' parameter of ldap_rename. It states that the server should return a result code of - LDAP_UNWILLING_TO_PERFORM with the error message "server does not support moving of entries". However, when I try this operation, the result code that I get back is always LDAP_PROTOCOL_ERROR. The operation I specify is as follows: LDAP *ld; int msgid, rc; rc = ldap_rename(ld, "cn=subscriber5,cn=endpoints,c=US", "cn=subscriber50", "cn=gateways,c=US", TRUE, NULL, NULL, msgid); .... Is there anything wrong with the message structure or is the return result code coming back incorrectly.

Your code snippet looks okay to me. I suspect that DS 3.0 is just returning the wrong result code, although that surprises me. Did you enable LDAPv3 on the client side?

Reassigning all open Directory / LDAP C SDK bugs to Michael.

This bug has not been touched for more than nine months. In most cases, that means it has "slipped through the net". Please could the owner take a moment to add a comment to the bug with current status, and/or close it. Thank you :-) Gerv

Mass reassign of 4 older LDAP C SDK bugs to mcs@pearlcrescent.com.

Resolving as "Won't Fix" (this is a very old bug, and it sounds like a server bug not an LDAP C SDK bug). Please reopen if necessary.
