• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SLDAP_ICM009 - LDAP add request for &1&2 with OPERATION <> LDAP_MOD_ADD ?

  The SAP error message SLDAP_ICM009 typically indicates an issue with an LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) operation, specifically when an LDAP add request is being processed. The error message suggests that the operation being attempted is not a valid LDAP_MOD_ADD operation, which is used to add new entries to the LDAP directory.
  Cause:
  The error can occur due to several reasons:
  
  Incorrect Operation Type: The operation being attempted is not an LDAP_MOD_ADD operation. This could happen if the request is trying to modify an existing entry instead of adding a new one.
  Configuration Issues: There may be misconfigurations in the LDAP settings within the SAP system, such as incorrect mapping of attributes or incorrect DN (Distinguished Name) formats.
  LDAP Server Issues: The LDAP server may be experiencing issues or may not be configured to accept the type of operation being requested.
  Insufficient Permissions: The user or service account being used to perform the LDAP operation may not have the necessary permissions to add entries to the LDAP directory.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the SLDAP_ICM009 error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Operation Type: Ensure that the operation being performed is indeed an LDAP_MOD_ADD operation. Review the code or configuration that triggers the LDAP request to confirm that it is intended to add a new entry.
  
  
  Review LDAP Configuration:
  
  Verify the LDAP connection settings in the SAP system (transaction code LDAP).
  Check the attribute mappings and ensure they are correctly defined.
  Ensure that the DN format is correct and matches the expected structure in the LDAP directory.
  
  
  
  Inspect LDAP Server Logs: If you have access to the LDAP server logs, check for any error messages or warnings that could provide more context about why the operation failed.
  
  
  Check Permissions: Ensure that the user or service account used for the LDAP operation has the necessary permissions to add entries to the LDAP directory. You may need to consult with your LDAP administrator to verify this.
  
  
  Test with LDAP Tools: Use LDAP client tools (like ldapsearch, ldapadd, etc.) to manually perform the add operation. This can help determine if the issue is with the SAP system or the LDAP server itself.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation and notes related to LDAP integration for any specific configurations or known issues that might apply to your version of SAP.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to LDAP integration. You can search for relevant notes in the SAP Support Portal.
  LDAP Documentation: Familiarize yourself with LDAP operations and the specific requirements for adding entries, as this can help in troubleshooting.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if other users have encountered similar issues and what solutions they found effective.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the SLDAP_ICM009 error and implement a solution to resolve it.
