Bug 229699

Turns out that this bug only occurs when the objectclass doesn't inherit from
another (ie 'SUP top'), which it appears it's supposed to, and the attribute
thing has nothing to do with it.

The problem here is that when you are running the user editor, the console expects there to be the "person" objectclass somewhere in there.  Otherwise, it gets confused.

Console Framework Diffs

The exception was occuring since the Console assumed that an entry created by going to "New->User" would have the givenname and sn attribute present and never checked if they were null before calling the String.substring() method.  The fix is to first check if these attributes are null.

There were other issues around this problem as well.  The ResourcePageObservable class that is used to represent the entry being edited keeps a list of objectclasses along with the list of attributes and values for the entry (including the objectclass attribute).  The problem was that removing an objectclass from the entry in the editor did not remove the objectclass from the objectclass list.  This causes the editor to make assumptions about the entry, such as the presence of the givenname and sn attribute that caused the exception.  The fix is to sync the objectclass list with the actual objectclasses that are present in the entry when a change is made.

SS

Followed below steps on RHEL6 - DS9.0

2. Add the following schema:
# cat /opt/fedora-ds/slapd-localhost/config/schema/61-maillist.ldif
dn: cn=schema
attributeTypes: ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.18320.1.2 NAME 'maildrop' DESC 'Email account or username to deliver all email to' SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26 X-ORIGIN 'A Postfix Schema' )
objectClasses: ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.18320.2.1 NAME 'PostfixUser' DESC 'Email user with a live email box at HCI' MUST (maildrop $ mail) X-ORIGIN 'A Postfix Schema' )

and restart the server

ldapmodify -x -h localhost -p 1389 -D "cn=directory manager" -w Secret123 -v << EOF
dn: cn=schema
changetype: modify
add: attributetypes
attributeTypes: ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.18320.1.2 NAME 'maildrop' DESC 'Email account or username to deliver all email to' SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26 X ORIGIN 'A Postfix Schema' )
EOF

ldapmodify -x -h localhost -p 1389 -D "cn=directory manager" -w Secret123 -v << EOF
dn: cn=schema
changetype: modify
add: objectClasses
objectClasses: ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.18320.2.1 NAME 'PostfixUser' DESC 'Email user with a live email box at HCI' MUST (maildrop $ mail) X-ORIGIN 'A Postfix Schema' )
EOF


and restarted the server.

3. open the server localhost and in the directory tab select localhost and click
New > User

4. Click Advanced...

5. Add postfixuser to Object Class, then delete everything in Object Class
except for postfixuser and top. Add something for the mail address and maildrop

6. Click Ok, now in the Create New User window click Ok again

Perfectly working. no error. PFA for the Screen Shot.
