Unable to change user attributes after update from 4.1 to 4.2.3

Hi all,

UCS-Version 4.2-3 errata0

we have updated recently from 4.1 to 4.2-3 errata0. I know that we are still behind 4.3 but we are a little bit conservative and try to keep everything as stable as possible…

Since the update we can not change attributes from LDAP user entries which where disabled while updating. When we change a attribute (password, description…) we get the notification:
“The LDAP object could not be saved: LDAP Error Cannot modify object class: structural object class modification from ‘person’ to ‘inetOrgPerson’ not allowed”

I compared the LDAP entries for a new user with one of the old users which can not be changed. It seams that a new user has way more LDAP attributes.

Is there a way to solve this problem for example to somehow convert the old users to the new structure? Would an update to 4.3 solve the issue for sure?

Best regards
Thomas

PS: ich kann auch auf Deutsch schreiben, falls das für jemanden der helfen will, leichter ist…

Is it really 4.2-3 errata0? Do you have a full backup of the system?
I suggest to update to the latest errata upgrade (342) and check again.
