missing attribute "sambaGroupType" when attempting to create a new group - creating groups worked previously

[Tom Spettigue]

Hey all -

I seem to be getting the following error message whenever I try to create a group via the web interface:

IPA Error 4205: ObjectclassViolation

missing attribute "sambaGroupType" required by object class "sambaGroupMapping"

I'm not sure exactly what's happening, except that I know I've created groups numerous times before, and never gotten this error message. Does anyone have any ideas?

I'm guessing you're asking about something connected with FreeIPA and/or LDAP.

This is rather old, but may offer some clue.

If not, and I am correct about FreeIPA, then maybe asking here

would be more likely to be helpful?

Forgive me, I thought I WAS in the FreeIPA-users board! D:
