Adding Class in Active Directory Schema through LDAP

[Guest]

The Code is Given Below

ULONG uErr = ldap_bind_s(psLdap ,NULL,NULL,LDAP_AUTH_NEGOTIATE);

if( uErr == LDAP_SUCCESS )
{
int nVersion = LDAP_VERSION3;
ldap_set_option( psLdap, LDAP_OPT_VERSION, &nVersion );


int nChaseReferrals = 0;
ldap_set_option( psLdap, LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS, &nChaseReferrals );

// DN of new container
char szNewDN[ 1024 ] ="Schema",CN=Configuration,DC=server,DC=COM";
char* Object[] = { "classSchema",
NULL };
LDAPMod sAddObjectClass =
{
LDAP_MOD_ADD,
"objectClass",
Object
};

char* apszCNVals[] =
{
"ALIDATABANK1", // a single value for the cn attribute
NULL
};

LDAPMod sAddCN =
{
LDAP_MOD_ADD, // the operation
"cn", // the name of the attribute
apszCNVals
};

char* LDAPName[] =
{
"alidatabank1",
NULL
};

LDAPMod sAddLDAPName=
{
LDAP_MOD_ADD, // the operation
"lDAPDisplayName", // the name of the attribute
LDAPName
};
char* GovernsID[] =
{
"1.3.4.3.7.7.1564.4.2.1.9.2.38" , NULL
};

LDAPMod sAddGovernsID =
{
LDAP_MOD_ADD, // the operation
"governsID", // the name of the attribute
GovernsID
};

char* SubClassOf[] =
{
"top" , // a single value for the cn attribute
NULL
};

LDAPMod sAddSubClassOf=
{
LDAP_MOD_ADD, // the operation
"subClassOf", // the name of the attribute
SubClassOf
};

// list of attributes to add
LDAPMod* asAttrsToAdd[] =
{
&sAddObjectClass,
&sAddCN,
&sAddLDAPName,
&sAddGovernsID,
&sAddSubClassOf,
NULL
};

uErr = ldap_add_s( psLdap, szNewDN, asAttrsToAdd );



I wrote the following code but it gives me LDAP Error = 65 (Object Class
Violation)
Can you send me the sample code to create Active Directory Schema through
LDAP
or point out mistake in the above provided code

I highly recommend having your schema updates in LDIF files and have admins
execute the LDIF file versus writing code to insert schema mods. When I was an
ops guys I refused to run schema updates from vendors that way. If they didn't
have an LDIF file their app was thrown out.

Also your code is difficult to read, most likely if you used an LDIF file the
issue would be visible quite quickly.
