phpldapadmin faile to create courier email account

[Sam]

Hi,

I integrated the following programs in freebsd 5.4.
phpldapadmin
openldap 2.2_26
courier-imap
courier-authlib
courier-authdaemon
cyrus-sasl2-saslauthd
postfix

When I tried to add new email account to courier-imap, I got the
following error shown in the log file:
slapd[1141]: conn=225 fd=10 ACCEPT from IP=10.8.254.251 :65479
(IP=0.0.0.0:389 )
slapd[1141]: conn=225 op=0 BIND dn="cn=sam,dc=a uthtec,dc=com" method=128
slapd[1141]: conn=225 op=0 BIND dn="cn=sam,dc=a uthtec,dc=com"
mech=SIMPLE ssf=0
slapd[1141]: conn=225 op=0 RESULT tag=97 err=0 text=
slapd[1141]: conn=225 op=1 ADD dn="uid=wilson. long,dc=authtec ,dc=com"
slapd[1141]: conn=225 op=1 RESULT tag=105 err=21 text=objectClas s: value
#1 invalid per syntax
slapd[1141]: conn=225 op=2 UNBIND
slapd[1141]: conn=225 fd=10 closed

The exact steps I used to create this courier-imap account thru
phpldapadmin is:
Click the slapd[1141]: conn=225 fd=10 ACCEPT from IP=10.8.254.251 :65479
(IP=0.0.0.0:389 )
May 31 23:13:18 mail02 slapd[1141]: conn=225 op=0 BIND
dn="cn=sam,dc=a uthtec,dc=com" method=128
May 31 23:13:18 mail02 slapd[1141]: conn=225 op=0 BIND
dn="cn=sam,dc=a uthtec,dc=com" mech=SIMPLE ssf=0
May 31 23:13:18 mail02 slapd[1141]: conn=225 op=0 RESULT tag=97 err=0 text=
May 31 23:13:18 mail02 slapd[1141]: conn=225 op=1 ADD
dn="uid=wilson. wun,dc=authtec, dc=com"
May 31 23:13:18 mail02 slapd[1141]: conn=225 op=1 RESULT tag=105 err=21
text=objectClas s: value #1 invalid per syntax
May 31 23:13:19 mail02 slapd[1141]: conn=225 op=2 UNBIND
May 31 23:13:19 mail02 slapd[1141]: conn=225 fd=10 closed

The exact steps I used to create new email account are:
Select option "Create new entry here" in the My LDAP Server page.
Select Courier Mail Account in the Create Object page.
Press the Proceed button.
Fill in the following info:
uid: wilson.long
Home directory: /usr/localvmail
Mailbox: <empty>
Email: wilson.long@aut htec.com
Password: 123
Password: 123
Encryption: clear
Container: dc=authtec,dc=c om
Press the Proceed button.
And press the Create Addres button.

Then the error page shown up:
Could not add the object to the LDAP server.
LDAP said: Invalid syntax
Error number: 0x15 (LDAP_INVALID_S YNTAX)
Description: An invalid attribute value was specified.

In the above attributes, I don't know hwat is Mailbox I should enter. I
use Maildir not Mailbox. How can I change Mailbox to Maildir in
phpldapadmin?

Thanks
Sam

Sam,

You may wish to check with the phpldapadmin developer on this one.
Maybe read items going to there mailing list, faq's and the bugs page
you might find something.

But if you see the result it states invalid syntax or attributes and
since this is a open source project you may have to find the reasons why
before it would get fixed or addin the specific options yourself.
