#49329 Provide descriptive error message when neither suffix nor backend is specified for USN cleanup task
Closed: wontfix Opened by ilias95.

Issue Description

Providing either a suffix or backend attribute is necessary in order to create a USN tombstone cleanup entry. Otherwise the server will not accept the operation. However in this case it just returns a general error message which is not helpful at all: "ldap_add: Bad parameter to an ldap routine (-9)". We should replace this with a descriptive error message.

Steps to reproduce

Apply the following LDIF:

dn: cn=Example,cn=USN tombstone cleanup task,cn=tasks,cn=config
changetype: add
objectClass: top
objectClass: extensibleObject
