bugs in ldap.OBJECT_CLASS_VIOLATION ?

[<jer...@li...>]

I've got this error message for my function who delete objectClass on an 
entry

In this example i delete objectClass "person"

My function try to delete sn,telephoneNumber and seeAlso attributes... 
cause the over are used by other schema.

I've got this error message

ldap.OBJECT_CLASS_VIOLATION: {'info': "object class 'inetOrgPerson' 
requires attribute 'sn'", 'desc': 'Object class violation'}

But sn is not a required attribute for inetOrgPerson...

and inetOrgPerson schema response doesn't contain sn attribute...

Yepp.

It is required since inetOrgPerson is SUP organizationalPerson which is
SUP person.

You have to resolve object class inheritance.

Fortunately you can use ready-to-use methods:

  ldap.schema.subentry.SubSchema.attribute_types()

Or the convenience wrapper method:

  ldap.schema.models.Entry.attribute_types().

BTW: Attribute types are derived via SUP too...

Additionally I'd recommend to use the schema browser in
http://www.web2ldap.de to dig your local LDAP server's schema. :-)
