Hello all,

Currently I am facing problem with moving subtree of entries to a new parent.

I am trying to move a subtree or a user to a new parent. I am getting the following error message.

There are two OU’s under the suffix o=xyzcorp.com ou=education and ou=finance.
Browny is the user in ou=education,o=xyzcorp.com. Now I need to move Browny to ou=finance,o=xyzcorp.com.

When I attempt to do the following modification I am getting error.

dn: cn=Browny,ou=education,o=xyzcorp.com
changetype: modrdn
newrdn: cn=BrownyNew
deleteoldrdn: 0
newsuperior: ou=finance,o= xyzcorp.com

new RDN: cn=BrownyNew, new parent ou=finance,o= xyzcorp.com (keep existing values)
modifying RDN of entry cn=Browny,ou= education,o= xyzcorp.com and/or moving it beneath a new parent

ldap_rename: DSA is unwilling to perform
ldap_rename: additional info: server does not support moving of entries



I tried it this way also,…….

dn: cn=Browny,ou=education,o=xyzcorp.com
changetype: modrdn
newrdn: cn=Browny
deleteoldrdn: 1
newparent: ou=finance,o= xyzcorp.com

……no success

Like the same way I am not able to move the OU also to a new parent.

Is anybody aware of this.

If so educate me how to do this.


Thanks in advance,
Brown Deigo.
