Howdy-

I'm experimenting with ruby-ldap, but I've run across an issue I can't
resolve with the Rdoc.

I can't seem to add a new entry.  It fails with an object class
violation, but I don't think the object I'm adding would be illegal if
I added it some other way.  I wonder if this relates to the LDAP
libraries present on the system (I'm pointing the script at SunONE 5.2,
but it's not installed locally)?  Anyone have any tips for me?

#!/usr/local/bin/ruby -w
require'ldap' 

mypw = 'x0x0x0x0'
mydn = "cn=Directory Manager"
newentry = Hash.new 
newentry["objectclass"] = ["top","organizationalunit"]
newentry["ou"] = ["test"]
newentry["dn"] = ["ou=" + (newentry["ou"])[0] + ",dc=domain,dc=edu"]

conn = LDAP::Conn.new(host='host.domain.edu',port=389) 

puts newentry.inspect

conn.simple_bind(dn=mydn,password=mypw) { |conn|
  conn.add((newentry["dn"])[0], newentry)
}
