LDAP import error


Recommended Posts

Hello

I'm trying o import some users from AD (something which has been working fine for MONTHS) but there's one user who isn't coming across...and I can't see why!

The error we're getting is: 

Unable to Create User: KnightM3 Error: The minimum length of the value in element <name> was expected to be 2 but was actually 0 at location '/methodCall/params/name'

 

Any ideas what this might be please? I've checked the AD record and it looks like everything is set up correctly and all the correct fields are filled in, but just this one user will not copy.

 

 

thanks

What's the name of the person in the Active Directory?

I think the problem comes from the field extracted from the AD that you mapped to the field Name in Hornbill. Pretty sure it is empty

Hi @Lyonel

Thanks...

the user account in AD has a first name (givenname), a last name (SN) and a middle name (initial). 

The Hornbill import has the field 'name' mapped to -  "Name": "[givenname] [sn]",

I have noticed that this person does have the same name as someone else in the company, so I've tried adding the middle initial to the import too but I still get the same error.

@Paul Alexander Try setting up the log level to debug

Then share the section of the log file just before the error is thrown? 

In my experience, this helps a bit.

Also, query the Active Directory using SQL or Powershell to see what is returned programmatically for this particular user.

I reckon this is a 'next week' problem....I'm sure a weekend to think about it will make it all just a little better ;) 

Thanks for your help so far though.....have a good weekend!
