How to replace multiple values of an attribute

[Oliver Dörr]

Hi,

I spent my whole afternoon searching for a solution for replacing all
values of an attrbute by an array.

So what i got is basicly an reference $values to an array of my new
values. I could iterate through the array using
foreach my $value (@$values) {...}

The code that works is:
my $mesg1=$backendConn->modify($dn,
replace => [$attr, ["Hello",
"Test"]]
);

But i need to be more flexible and tried today a lot of variations of...
my $mesg1=$backendConn->modify($dn,
replace => [$attr, @{$values}]
);

This gave me the error...
Attribute <one of the values in my array> was not found in the schema
definition.
inside the LDAP Server

$attr is a string that contains the name of the attribut.

Could somebody help me?

Oliver,

I think the following should work (pass a reference to an array, not an array):

my $mesg1=$backendConn->modify($dn,
replace => { $attr, $values }
);

Hmmm,

that does also not work. $mesg1->error shows "Protocol error " and
$mesg1->code = 2

No hint, in LDAP server log

Another idea?

Hi Graham,

thanks for your hint. I found it. The correct syntax was

my $mesg1=$backendConn->modify($dn, replace => [$attr, $values]);

The problem was, that $values was iso-8859-1 encoded. After decoding it,
it works.

Thanks again

Oliver
