• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LDAPRC035 - Entry is an end node ?

  The SAP error message "LDAPRC035 Entry is an end node" typically occurs in the context of LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) integration with SAP systems. This error indicates that the LDAP entry being accessed is an end node, meaning it does not have any child entries or sub-entries. This can happen during operations such as searching for user information or synchronizing data between SAP and an LDAP directory.
  Cause:
  
  End Node Definition: In LDAP, an end node is a leaf entry that does not have any further child entries. This means that the entry is a terminal point in the directory structure.
  Search Query: The search query being executed may be looking for child entries that do not exist under the specified end node.
  Misconfiguration: There may be a misconfiguration in the LDAP settings or the way the search is being performed in the SAP system.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the LDAP Structure: Verify the structure of the LDAP directory to ensure that the entry you are querying is indeed supposed to have child entries. If it is an end node, then the query should be adjusted accordingly.
  Modify the Search Query: If the search is intended to retrieve child entries, ensure that the base DN (Distinguished Name) is set correctly to point to a node that has children. If you are only interested in the end node, adjust the query to handle it appropriately.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings in SAP for LDAP integration. Ensure that the parameters for user synchronization or search are correctly set up.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your code or configuration to manage cases where an end node is encountered, so that the system can gracefully handle such situations without throwing an error.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for LDAP integration to understand the expected structure and how to configure LDAP settings properly.
  LDAP Tools: Use LDAP browsing tools (like Apache Directory Studio) to visualize the directory structure and confirm the presence or absence of child entries.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to LDAP integration that might address this error.
  
  If the problem persists after checking these aspects, consider reaching out to SAP support or consulting with an SAP Basis administrator who has experience with LDAP configurations.
