| Sun Java System LDAP SDK for C Programming Guide |
Chapter 18
Result CodesThis chapter lists some of the result codes that can be returned by functions in the Sun™ Java System LDAP SDK for C. For ease of use, they are first listed in numerical order, grouped by related occurences. The detailed reference of each result code is then given in alphabetical order. This chapter contains the following sections:
OverviewLDAP result codes are extensible; thus, LDAPv3 extensions may define their own error codes, and register them with the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). The list of registered LDAP error codes is at http://www.iana.org/assignments/ldap-parameters. This list is what the LDAP SDK for C currently knows in terms of result codes. More information can be found in the RFC 3383 - Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Considerations for the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3383.html).
Result Codes Summary in Numerical OrderTable 18-1 gives the decimal and hexidecimal value of all result codes. Values missing from the sequence are not assigned to a result code.
Result Codes Summary By Server/ClientTable 18-2 summarizes the result codes initiated by an LDAP server.
Table 18-3 summarizes the result codes initiated by an LDAP client.
Result Codes Reference in Alphabetical OrderThe following sections contain the detailed reference information for each result code listed in alphabetical order by code name.

Definition
#define LDAP_NO_RESULTS_RETURNED 0x5E /* 94 */
LDAP_NO_SUCH_ATTRIBUTE
This result code indicates that the specified attribute does not exist in the entry. Sun Java System Directory Server might send this result code back to the client if, for example, a modify request specifies the modification or removal of a non-existent attribute or if a compare request specifies a non-existent attribute.
Definition
#define LDAP_NO_SUCH_ATTRIBUTE 0x10 /* 16 */
LDAP_NO_SUCH_OBJECT
This result code indicates that the server cannot find an entry specified in the request. Sun Java System Directory Server sends this result code back to the client if it cannot find a requested entry and it cannot refer your client to another LDAP server.
Definition
#define LDAP_NO_SUCH_OBJECT 0x20 /* 32 */
LDAP_NOT_ALLOWED_ON_NONLEAF
This result code indicates that the requested operation is allowed only on entries that do not have child entries (leaf entries as opposed to branch entries). Sun Java System Directory Server sends this result code back to the client if the request is a delete request or a modify DN request and the entry is a parent entry. (You cannot delete or move a branch of entries in a single operation.)
Definition
#define LDAP_NOT_ALLOWED_ON_NONLEAF 0x42 /* 66 */
LDAP_NOT_ALLOWED_ON_RDN
This result code indicates that the requested operation will affect the RDN of the entry. Sun Java System Directory Server sends this result code back to the client if the request is a modify request that deletes attribute values from the entry that are used in the RDN of the entry. (For example, the request removes the attribute value uid=bjensen from the entry uid=bjensen,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com.)
Definition
#define LDAP_NOT_ALLOWED_ON_RDN 0x43 /* 67 */
LDAP_NOT_SUPPORTED
This result code indicates that the LDAP client is attempting to use functionality that is not supported. The LDAP SDK for C sets this result code if the client identifies itself as an LDAPv2 client, and the client is attempting to use functionality available in LDAPv3. For example:
- You are passing LDAP controls to a function.
- You are calling ldap_extended_operation(), ldap_extended_operation_s(), or ldap_parse_extended_result() to request an extended operation or to parse an extended response.
- You are calling ldap_rename() or ldap_rename_s(), and you are specifying a new "superior DN" as an argument.
- You are calling ldap_sasl_bind(), ldap_sasl_bind_s(), or ldap_parse_sasl_bind_result() to request Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) authentication or to parse a SASL bind response.
- You are calling ldap_parse_virtuallist_control() to parse a virtual list control from the server’s response.
If you want to use these features, make sure to specify that your LDAP client is an LDAPv3 client. For details, see "Specifying the LDAP Version of Your Client" of Chapter 3, "Writing an LDAP Client."
Definition
#define LDAP_NOT_SUPPORTED 0x5c /* 92 */
LDAP_OBJECT_CLASS_VIOLATION
This result code indicates that the request specifies a new entry or a change to an existing entry that does not comply with the server’s schema. Sun Java System Directory Server sends this result code back to the client in the following situations:
- The request is an add request, and the new entry does not comply with the schema. For example, the new entry does not have all the required attributes, or the entry has attributes that are not allowed in the entry.
- The request is a modify request, and the change will make the entry non-compliant with the schema. For example, the change removes a required attribute or adds an attribute that is not allowed.
Check the server error logs for more information, and the schema for the type of entry that you are adding or modifying. For information on the schema, see the Sun ONE Directory Server Administration Guide (http://docs.sun.com/doc/816-6698-10).
Definition
#define LDAP_OBJECT_CLASS_VIOLATION 0x41 /* 65 */
LDAP_OPERATIONS_ERROR
This is a general result code indicating that an error has occurred. Sun Java System Directory Server might send this code if, for example, memory cannot be allocated on the server. To troubleshoot this type of error, check the server’s error logs. You may need to increase the log level of the server to get additional information. For information on setting the log level, see the Sun ONE Directory Server Administration Guide (http://docs.sun.com/doc/816-6698-10).
Definition
#define LDAP_OPERATIONS_ERROR 0x01 /* 1 */
LDAP_OTHER
This result code indicates than an unknown error has occurred.
Caution
At this point, neither the LDAP SDK for C nor Sun Java System Directory Server return this result code.
Definition
#define LDAP_OTHER 0x50 /* 80 */
LDAP_PARAM_ERROR
This result code indicates that an invalid parameter was specified. The LDAP SDK for C sets this result code if a function was called and invalid parameters were specified (for example, if the LDAP structure is NULL).
Definition
#define LDAP_PARAM_ERROR 0x59 /* 89 */
LDAP_PARTIAL_RESULTS
Sun Java System Directory Server sends this result code to LDAPv2 clients to refer them to another LDAP server. When sending this code to a client, the server includes a new line-delimited list of LDAP URLs that identifies another LDAP server. If the client identifies itself as an LDAPv3 client in the request, an LDAP_REFERRAL result code is sent instead of this result code.
Definition
#define LDAP_PARTIAL_RESULTS 0x09 /* 9 */
LDAP_PROTOCOL_ERROR
This result code indicates that the LDAP client’s request does not comply with the LDAP. Sun Java System Directory Server sends this result code back to the client in the following situations:
- The server cannot parse the incoming request.
- The request specifies an attribute type that uses a syntax not supported by the server.
- The request is a SASL bind request, but your client identifies itself as an LDAPv2 client. (For instructions on how to specify that your LDAP client is an LDAPv3 client, see "Specifying the LDAP Version of Your Client" of Chapter 3, "Writing an LDAP Client.")
- The request is a bind request that specifies an unsupported version of the LDAP. Make sure to specify whether your LDAP client is an LDAPv2 client or an LDAPv3 client. For instructions, see "Specifying the LDAP Version of Your Client" of Chapter 3, "Writing an LDAP Client."
- The request is an add or a modify request that specifies the addition of an attribute type to an entry, but no values are specified.
- The request is a modify request, and one of the following is true:
- The request is a modify DN request, and one of the following is true:
- The request is a search request, and one of the following is true:
- An unknown scope is specified (a scope other than LDAP_SCOPE_BASE, LDAP_SCOPE_ONELEVEL, and LDAP_SCOPE_SUBTREE).
- An unknown filter type is specified.
- The filter type LDAP_FILTER_GE or LDAP_FILTER_LE is specified, but the type of attribute contains values that cannot be ordered. (For example, if the attribute type uses a binary syntax, the values of the attribute contain binary data, which cannot be sorted.)
- The request contains an extensible filter (a filter using matching rules), but your client identifies itself as an LDAPv2 client. (For instructions on how to specify that your LDAP client is an LDAPv3 client, see "Specifying the LDAP Version of Your Client" of Chapter 3, "Writing an LDAP Client.")
- The request contains an extensible filter (a filter using matching rules), but the matching rule is not supported by the server.
- The request is a search request with a server-side sorting control, and one of the following is true:
- The server does not have a syntax plug-in that supports the attribute used for sorting.
- The syntax plug-in does not have a function for comparing values of the attribute. (This compare function is used for sorting.)
- The type of attribute specified for sorting contains values that cannot be sorted in any order. For example, if the attribute type uses a binary syntax, the values of the attribute contain binary data, which cannot be sorted.
- The server encounters an error when creating the sorting response control (the control to be sent back to the client).
- When sorting the results, the time limit or the "look-through limit" is exceeded. The "look-through limit" is the maximum number of entries that the server will check when gathering a list of potential search result candidates. For details, see the Sun ONE Directory Server Administration Guide (http://docs.sun.com/doc/816-6698-10).
- The request is an extended operation request, and the server does not support the extended operation. In Directory Server, extended operations are supported through extended operation server plug-ins. Make sure that the server is loading a plug-in that supports the extended operation. Check the OID of the extended operation in your LDAP client to make sure that it matches the OID of the extended operation registered in the server plug-in. For more information on extended operation server plug-ins, see the Sun ONE Directory Server Plug-In Programming Guide (http://docs.sun.com/doc/816-6702-10).
- An authentication method other than LDAP_AUTH_SIMPLE or LDAP_AUTH_SASL is specified.
To troubleshoot this type of error, check the server’s error logs. You may need to increase the log level of the server to get additional information. See the Sun ONE Directory Server Administration Guide (http://docs.sun.com/doc/816-6698-10) for information on setting the log level of the server.

#define LDAP_PROTOCOL_ERROR 0x02 /* 2 */
LDAP_REFERRAL
This result code indicates that the server is referring the client to another LDAP server. When sending this code to a client, the server includes a list of LDAP URLs that identify another LDAP server. This result code is part of the LDAPv3. For LDAPv2 clients, Sun Java System Directory Server sends an LDAP_PARTIAL_RESULTS result code instead.
Definition
#define LDAP_REFERRAL 0x0a /* 10 */
LDAP_REFERRAL_LIMIT_EXCEEDED
This result code indicates that the referral hop limit was exceeded. The LDAP SDK for C sets this result code, when following referrals, if the client is referred to other servers more times than allowed by the referral hop limit. For more information, see "Limiting Referral Hops" of Chapter 4, "Using the LDAP API."
Definition
#define LDAP_REFERRAL_LIMIT_EXCEEDED 0x61 /* 97 */
LDAP_RESULTS_TOO_LARGE
This result code indicates that the results of the request are too large.
Caution
Sun Java System Directory Server does not currently send this result code back to LDAP clients.
Definition
#define LDAP_RESULTS_TOO_LARGE 0x46 /* 70 */
LDAP_SASL_BIND_IN_PROGRESS
This result code is used in multi-stage SASL bind operations. The server sends this result code back to the client to indicate that the authentication process has not yet completed. For more information on SASL authentication, see Chapter 12, "Using SASL Authentication."
Definition
#define LDAP_SASL_BIND_IN_PROGRESS 0x0E /* 14 */
LDAP_SERVER_DOWN
This result code indicates that the LDAP SDK for C cannot establish a connection with, or lost the connection to, the LDAP server. If you have not established an initial connection with the server, verify that you have specified the correct host name and port number and that the server is running. If you have lost the connection to the server, see "Handling Failover" of Chapter 4, "Using the LDAP API" for instructions on reconnecting to the server.
Definition
#define LDAP_SERVER_DOWN 0x51 /* 81 */
LDAP_SIZELIMIT_EXCEEDED
This result code indicates that the maximum number of search results to return has been exceeded. This limit is specified in the search request. If you specify no size limit, the server will set one. When working with Sun Java System Directory Server, keep in mind the following:
- If you are bound as the root DN and specify no size limit, the server enforces no size limit at all.
- If you are not bound as the root DN and specify no size limit, the server sets the size limit to the value specified by the sizelimit directive in the server’s slapd.conf configuration file.
- If the size limit that you specify exceeds the value specified by the sizelimit directive in the server’s slapd.conf configuration file, the server uses the size limit specified in the configuration file.
Definition
#define LDAP_SIZELIMIT_EXCEEDED 0x04 /* 4 */
LDAP_SORT_CONTROL_MISSING
This result code indicates that server did not receive a required server-side sorting control. Directory Server 4.0 or later sends this result code back to the client if the server receives a search request with a virtual list view control but no server-side sorting control as the virtual list view control requires a server-side sorting control. For more information on this, see "Using the Virtual List View Control" of Chapter 13, "Working with LDAP Controls."
Definition
#define LDAP_SORT_CONTROL_MISSING 0x3C /* 60 */

Definition
#define LDAP_STRONG_AUTH_REQUIRED 0x08 /* 8 */
LDAP_SUCCESS
This result code indicates that the LDAP operation was successful.
Definition
#define LDAP_SUCCESS 0x00 /* 0 */
LDAP_TIMELIMIT_EXCEEDED
This result code indicates that the time limit on a search operation has been exceeded. The time limit is specified in the search request. If you specify no time limit, the server will set one. When working with Sun Java System Directory Server, keep in mind the following:
- If you are bound as the root DN and specify no time limit, the server enforces no limit at all.
- If you are not bound as the root DN and specify no time limit, the server sets the time limit to the value specified by the timelimit directive in the server’s slapd.conf configuration file.
- If the time limit that you specify exceeds the value specified by the timelimit directive in the server’s slapd.conf configuration file, the server uses the time limit specified in the configuration file.
Definition
#define LDAP_TIMELIMIT_EXCEEDED 0x03 /* 3 */

Definition
#define LDAP_UNAVAILABLE_CRITICAL_EXTENSION 0x0c /* 12 */
LDAP_UNDEFINED_TYPE
This result code indicates that the request specifies an undefined attribute type.
Caution
Sun Java System Directory Server does not currently send this result code back to LDAP clients.
Definition
#define LDAP_UNDEFINED_TYPE 0x11 /* 17 */
LDAP_UNWILLING_TO_PERFORM
This result code indicates that the server is unwilling to perform the requested operation. Sun Java System Directory Server sends this result code back to the client in the following situations:
- The client has logged in for the first time and needs to change its password, but the client is requesting to perform other LDAP operations. In this situation, the result code is accompanied by an expired password control. For details, see "Using Password Policy Controls" of Chapter 13, "Working with LDAP Controls."
- The NT Synch Service is running, and an operation is vetoed by the service.
- The request is a modify DN request, and a "superior DN" is specified. (At this point in time, Directory Server does not support the ability to use the modify DN operation to move an entry from one location in the directory tree to another location.)
- The database is in read-only mode, and the request attempts to write to the directory.
- The request is a delete request that attempts to delete the root DSE.
- The request is a modify DN request that attempts to modify the DN of the root DSE.
- The request is a modify request to modify the schema entry, and one of the following occurs:
- The server uses a database plug-in that does not implement the operation specified in the request. For example, if the database plug-in does not implement the add operation, sending an add request will return this result code.
Definition
#define LDAP_UNWILLING_TO_PERFORM 0x35 /* 53 */
LDAP_USER_CANCELLED
This result code indicates that the user cancelled the LDAP operation.
Caution
Sun Java System Directory Server does not currently send this result code back to LDAP clients.
