Situation
Attempt to run namuseradd for an existing user
returns error -32. Sample output:
Test4:~ # namuseradd -a cn=admin,o=novell -x o=novell -g cn=lumgroup,o=novell lumboy
Enter admin password:
Error in ndsuseradd(): [Type or value exists]
Error in ndsuseradd: [-32]
Type or value exists
Test4:~ # namuseradd -a cn=admin,o=novell -x o=novell -g cn=lumgroup,o=novell lumboy
Enter admin password:
Error in ndsuseradd(): [Type or value exists]
Error in ndsuseradd: [-32]
Type or value exists
Resolution
While not otherwise LUM enabled, , the user 'lumboy'
is already a member of lumgroup. When namuseradd does the
modify request to add the LUM attributes, it is attempting to add a
duplicate value for the group, which causes the error.
You can work around this by manually deleting the group from the user's Group Membership list in iManager.
