Symptoms

After setting up SunOne/Iplanet DIP Synchronization to OID,  Adds and Changes work but Deletes Do Not Work.

Symptom:  IplanetImport.aud contains:

<changenumber> : Success : DELETE : * : Attempt to synchronize deletion. Entry is not
found. Ignore.

Symptom:  ImplanetImport.trc file contains:

Not able to construct DN
.
.
Can't find DN for entry to delete
.
Symptom

When performing renames using rdn (see rdn.ldif file below for example) in the Sun LDAP, the sync fails on the OID side with the following log errors:

rdn.ldif
dn:uid=myuser, OU=SUPPLIERS,OU=ASSOCIATES,OU=NORTH AMERICA,OU=PEOPLE,o=<COMPANY_NAME>
changetype: modrdn
newrdn: uid=myuser_a
deleteoldrdn: 1

ERROR
-----------------------
IplanetImport.aud:
1503665 : Failure : MODRDN : cn=myuser_a,cn=users,dc=<COMPANY_NAME>,dc=com

IplanetImport.trc:
Exception Doing ModRDN operation : javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: [LDAP: error code 32 - Entry to be modified not found.]; remaining name 'cn=myuser_a,cn=users,dc=<COMPANY_NAME>,dc=com'
Entry cn=myuser_a,cn=users,dc=<COMPANY_NAME>,dc=com not found

(Note the log indeed shows the entry dn next to the "not found" message as shown, without an expected space in between them.)
