• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LDAPACCESS103 - LDAP_CREATE failed ?

  The SAP error message LDAPACCESS103 LDAP_CREATE failed typically indicates an issue with creating an entry in the LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) directory. This error can arise due to various reasons, including permission issues, configuration problems, or connectivity issues with the LDAP server.
  Causes
  
  
  Insufficient Permissions: The user account being used to connect to the LDAP server may not have the necessary permissions to create entries in the directory.
  
  
  Incorrect LDAP Configuration: The configuration settings in SAP for connecting to the LDAP server may be incorrect, such as the LDAP server URL, base DN, or bind DN.
  
  
  LDAP Server Issues: The LDAP server itself may be experiencing issues, such as being down, misconfigured, or overloaded.
  
  
  Entry Already Exists: The entry you are trying to create may already exist in the LDAP directory, leading to a conflict.
  
  
  Schema Violations: The data being sent to the LDAP server may not conform to the schema defined for the directory, causing the creation to fail.
  
  
  Network Issues: There may be network connectivity issues between the SAP system and the LDAP server.
  
  
  Solutions
  
  
  Check Permissions: Ensure that the user account used for the LDAP connection has the necessary permissions to create entries in the LDAP directory.
  
  
  Review Configuration: Verify the LDAP configuration settings in SAP. Check the following:
  
  LDAP server URL
  Base DN
  Bind DN and password
  Any other relevant settings
  
  
  
  Test LDAP Connectivity: Use tools like ldapsearch or similar to test connectivity to the LDAP server and ensure that it is reachable from the SAP system.
  
  
  Check for Existing Entries: Verify if the entry you are trying to create already exists in the LDAP directory. If it does, you may need to update it instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  Validate Data Against Schema: Ensure that the data being sent to the LDAP server adheres to the schema requirements. Check for required attributes and their formats.
  
  
  Consult LDAP Logs: If you have access to the LDAP server logs, check them for any error messages or warnings that could provide more context on why the creation failed.
  
  
  Network Troubleshooting: If there are network issues, work with your network team to diagnose and resolve any connectivity problems.
