Creating a contact in Active Directory

Question

Hello,
I'm new to LDAP and I'm having trouble creating a contact in AD. When I try to create the contact I recieve:
Problem creating contact: javax.naming.OperationNotSupportedException: [LDAP: error code 53 - 00002040: SvcErr: DSID-030508F8, problem 5003 (WILL_NOT_PERFORM), data 0
A fragment of the code I'm using is:
{code}
try {
LdapContext ctx = null ;
Hashtable<String,String> env = new Hashtable<String,String>();
String adminName = "CN=Administrator,CN=Users,DC=antipodes,DC=com";
String adminPassword = "mypassword";
String ldapURL = "ldap://localhost:389";
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION,"simple");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL,adminName);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS,adminPassword);
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,ldapURL);
//Create the initial directory context
ctx = new InitialLdapContext(env,null);
// Create attributes to be associated with the new contact
Attributes attrs = new BasicAttributes(true);
Attribute oc = new BasicAttribute("objectclass") ;
oc.add("top");
oc.add("person");
oc.add("organizationalPerson");
oc.add("mailRecipient");
oc.add("contact") ;
attrs.put(oc);
//Mandatory attributes for a contact object
attrs.put("cn","BFranklin");
//These are optional (but important) attributes
attrs.put("givenName","Benjamin");
attrs.put("sn","Franklin");
// Create the context
Context result = ctx.createSubcontext("CN=BFranklin,OU=Research,DC=antipodes,DC=com", attrs);
System.out.println("Successfully created contact.");
catch (NamingException e) {
System.err.println("Problem creating contact: " + e);
I've been able to perform other operations such as searches and creation of groups, but this has me stumped.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

Answer 1

Not sure what the exact problem is. (I always laugh when I see someone using my demo domain name !)
A few things to check.
Is your domain really called "antipodes.com" ? (I know mine is, no idea bout yours !)
Do you have an OU called research ?
Is there already another object (perhaps a user) with the same common name (CN=Albert Einstein) in the OU ?
You may want to simplify the objectClass definition, perhaps your schema definition may be slightly different ? .....
Attributes attrs = new BasicAttributes(true);
//Mandatory attributes for a contact object
attrs.put("objectClass","contact");
attrs.put("cn","BFranklin");
//These are optional (but important) attributes
attrs.put("givenName","Benjamin");
attrs.put("sn","Franklin");
......Othr than that, I'm stumped as well !
