Create Object - VB

[Brendan Watkins]

Hi,

Can anyone help with me this problem, or at least point me in the right
direction as to where to post it?

------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am trying to create a user object in NDS using VB 6.0. When I get to
the NWDSAddObject function, it returns a code, "-604" which I believe
correlates to a "No such class" error.

The code is below, I would really appreciate any help.

Thanks

Brendan

retCode = NWDSCreateContextHandle(context)

anyName = DS_ROOT_NAME + Chr(0)

Call StringToByteArray(anyName, byteName)

retCode = NWDSSetContext(context, DCK_NAME_CONTEXT, VarPtr(byteName
(0)))

anyName = Text1.Text + Chr(0)

Call StringToByteArray(anyName, byteName)

retCode = NWDSSetContext(context, DCK_TREE_NAME, VarPtr(byteName(0)))

retCode = NWDSAllocBuf(DEFAULT_MESSAGE_LEN, inBuf)

retCode = NWDSInitBuf(context, DSV_ADD_ENTRY, inBuf)

retCode = NWDSPutAttrName(context, inBuf, "Object Class")

retCode = NWDSPutAttrVal(context, inBuf, SYN_CLASS_NAME, "User")

retCode = NWDSPutAttrName(context, inBuf, "Surname")

retCode = NWDSPutAttrVal(context, inBuf, SYN_CI_STRING,
"WatkinsTest")

retCode = NWDSPutAttrName(context, inBuf, "Given Name")

retCode = NWDSPutAttrVal(context, inBuf, SYN_CI_STRING, "Brendan")

retCode = NWDSAddObject(context, "bwatki02.imss.mtsinai.north.uoc", -
1,
0, inBuf)

MsgBox retCode

Two things:

a) Why use "1" here and not a 32-bit integer variable init. to -1?
b) Depending on your context, the "bwatki02.imss.mtsinai.north.uoc" may need to be ".bwatki02.imss.mtsinai.north.uoc" instead

Peter,

Thank you very much for getting back to me. I have posted to
developer forum.

I had used -1 and not 1, and I tried to use your second suggestion,
but it didn't help.

I'll await a response from novell.devsup.general.

Thanks again and thanks Anders!

Brendan,

Your message was not posted to the official Novell news
server. While your news server might show the Novell support
newsgroups, Novell has no official connection with other news
servers, and the message you posted will probably never
propagate to the official Novell server. The SysOps only see
messages on the Novell server and for that reason,
you will probably never get a reply to your
message posted here.

I suggest you post your message directly to the official
novell news server named support-forums.novell.com. The
Novell news server is freely accessible both through HTTP

For anyone interested, I actually got a good response from Karl
Durrance who pointed me towards his excellent clsNovellAPI.

So, I am now able to create user accounts etc.
