PeopleTools - LDAP (MSAD) integration

Question

I'm tooling around with creating a process to create a shell/disabled Active Directory (AD) account when a new person is hired in the HR database. I've already successfully utilized the LDAP_SEARCH and LDAP_MODIFY business interlinks to read from and update the AD accounts that are linked with a PS Operator, so I know the server and search configurations are correct. We are also using LDAP authentication with these same servers in production.
Today I thought I'd try the LDAP_ADD Business Interlink so I loaded and executed the BI after pulling individual attributes from my own AD account. I added a "9" to the sn attribute and did a replace of the sn portion of the DN to make it unique, and appended the same "9" to the sAMAccountName to make it unique also. Then I added the attributes :
sn, givenName, displayName, department, company, name, employeeID, and sAMAccountName
to the Business Interlink and performed the Execute().
The BI returned with return status 65 and return status message “Object class violation”.
Someone suggested leaving the DN blank and allowing AD to format it itself, so I did that. That time the BI returned with status 64 and status message ‘Naming violation’.
I'm not an LDAP or AD expert (in fact don't even have access to AD), so keep it simple. Any suggestions ?
TIA!

Answer 1

Lots of views, but no responses. Is there any interest out there in LDAP integration ?
I've resolved this issue, I had not been giving the full object path to the new user I was adding to AD.
&inAttrDoc = &inAddDirectoryEntries.AddDoc("Attribute");
&biReturn = &inAttrDoc.AddValue("Attribute_Name", "objectclass");
&biReturn = &inAttrDoc.AddValue("Value", "top");
&biReturn = &inAttrDoc.AddValue("Value", "person");
&biReturn = &inAttrDoc.AddValue("Value", "organizationalPerson");
&biReturn = &inAttrDoc.AddValue("Value", "user");
Originally I had been givning only the user value not the top>person>organizationalPerson>user values. When that was added, I was in business.
