Problem renaming entry

Question

Running following code to rename entries:
Hashtable hashtableEnvironment = new Hashtable();
hashtableEnvironment.put(
Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
"com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory"
hashtableEnvironment.put(
Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ldap://ip:port"
Hashtable env;
//read parameters from properties file
readParameters();
env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,initialContextFactoryLDAP);
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,providerUrlLDAP);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL,securityPrincipalLDAP);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS,securityCredentialsLDAP);
env.put("java.naming.ldap.version","3");
DirContext dirContext = new InitialDirContext(env);
String DNa = "o=testiPT, o=testiPT, o=testiRP, o=Juuri, l=Ammattilaiset, c=fi";
String DNb = "ou=testiPT, o=testiPT, o=testiRP, o=Juuri, l=Ammattilaiset, c=fi";
dirContext.rename(DNa, DNb);
dirContext.close();
Exception follows:
javax.naming.InvalidNameException: o=testiPT, o=testiPT, o=testiRP, o=Juuri, l=A

Renaming the leaf-node goes well, but any middle-node brings the above exception.
The LDAP server is providing both versions 2 and 3 simultaneusly. The admin tells me its ok and that there should be no problem with the server maybe being restricted to v2... Anyone had similar case? Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Answer 1

Little more specifically about the above question; renaming just the leaf name works fine, but changeing any node-type (= o --> ou) gives problems.
