Unable to perform add operation against AD server about node-ldapjs

Also, make sure that the path of the entry is to the new entity and not the parent OU.

const ou= 'OU=Users, OU=earth, DC=adname, DC=orgname, DC=org'

^ is the path to the parent OU, not the entry being added.

See

node-ldapjs/test/client.test.js

Lines 510 to 521 in f289008

	tap.test('add success with object', function (t) {
	const entry = {
	cn: ['unit', 'add'],
	sn: 'test'
	}
	t.context.client.add('cn=add, ' + SUFFIX, entry, function (err, res) {
	t.error(err)
	t.ok(res)
	t.equal(res.status, 0)
	t.end()
	})
	})

The error comes from the server, so it's not an issue with this library. I would suggest investigating the permissions of the user your using to perform the ADD operation. It is possible that the error message is misleading and that the actual error is a permissions error.

Also, make sure that the path of the entry is to the new entity and not the parent OU.

Hello @jsumners, thank you for your quick response!

Just checked the permissions of the user I'm using to perform the ADD operation. The user has administrator permission:

For troubleshooting purposes, I tried adding a new user directly by remote connecting to the AD server, and was able to add the user object without issues.

Are there any other recommendations as to what could be the caused?

Thank you for your assistance :)

Technically, I live in the metro area. But I'd be much more comfortable with a contribution https://github.com/sponsors/jsumners
