I'm trying to add a user to my local Active Directory (with AD LDS) by using Java (1.4) and LDAP. However, I keep getting the following error:

javax.naming.directory.SchemaViolationException: [LDAP: error code 65 - 0000207B : UpdErr: DSID-030511CF, problem 6002 (OBJ_CLASS_VIOLATION), data 0 ]; remaining > name 'CN=Test user,OU=Accounts,DC=PORTAL,DC=COMPANY,DC=BE'

My code:

public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            DirContext ctx = new InitialDirContext(X_Ldap.getEnvironment());
            user usr = new user("Test user", "FALSE");

            ctx.bind(
                    "CN=Test user,OU=Accounts,DC=PORTAL,DC=COMPANY,DC=BE",                      usr);

            // X_Ldap.checkIfUserExists("Test User");
            ctx.close();
        } catch (NamingException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
}

public class user implements DirContext {
    String type;

    /**
     * 
     * @param isDisabled
     *            TRUE or FALSE (literally)
     */
    public user(String username, String isDisabled) {
        String type = username;

        Attributes attr = new BasicAttributes(true);
        Attribute oc = new BasicAttribute("objectclass");
        oc.add("top");
        oc.add("person");
        oc.add("organizationalPerson");
        oc.add("user");
        Attribute memberOf = new BasicAttribute("memberOf");
        memberOf.add("CN=Users,CN=Roles,DC=PORTAL,DC=COMPANY,DC=BE");

        attr.put(oc);
        attr.put("msDS-UserAccountDisabled", isDisabled);
        attr.put(memberOf);

        attr.put("comment", username);
    }

    public String toString() {
            return type;
    }
}

edit I checked one of my user objects for mandatory attributes, but I'm not sure what i should fill in for all of them:

cn: Jane Doe -- Unicode string
instanceType: 0x4 = (WRITE) -- Integer
objectCategory: CN=Person,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,CN={EDBEACA1-6F60-413C-80F2-6C5CE265F22F} -- Distinguished Name
objectClass: top; person; organizationalPerson; user -- Object Identifier
objectSid: S-1-372665300-2234744891-519896106-1336725265-1748609191-3385095770 -- SID


EDIT2: My current code:

public class newuser {
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        String userName = "cn=Albert Einstein,ou=Accounts,DC=PORTAL,DC=COMPANY,DC=BE";
        // String groupName =
        // "cn=Users,cn=Roles,DC=PORTAL,DC=COMPANY,DC=BE";

        try {

            // Create the initial directory context
            System.out.println("Creating initial directory context...");
            LdapContext ctx = new InitialLdapContext(X_Ldap.getEnvironment(),
                    null);

            // Create attributes to be associated with the new user
            Attributes attrs = new BasicAttributes(true);

            // some useful constants from lmaccess.h
            int UF_ACCOUNTDISABLE = 0x0002;
            int UF_PASSWD_NOTREQD = 0x0020;
            int UF_PASSWD_CANT_CHANGE = 0x0040;
            int UF_NORMAL_ACCOUNT = 0x0200;
            int UF_DONT_EXPIRE_PASSWD = 0x10000;
            int UF_PASSWORD_EXPIRED = 0x800000;


            attrs.put("objectClass", "user");
            attrs.put("cn", "Albert Einstein");

            // These are some optional (but useful) attributes
            attrs.put("givenName", "Albert");
            attrs.put("sn", "Einstein");
            attrs.put("displayName", "Albert Einstein");
            attrs.put("description", "Research Scientist");
            attrs.put("userPrincipalName", "[email protected]");
            attrs.put("mail", "[email protected]");
            attrs.put("telephoneNumber", "999 123 4567");
            String newQuotedPassword = "\"Pass123\"";
            byte[] newUnicodePassword = newQuotedPassword.getBytes("UTF-16");
            attrs.put("unicodePwd", newUnicodePassword);
            attrs.put("msDS-User-Account-Control-Computed",
            Integer.toString(UF_NORMAL_ACCOUNT + UF_DONT_EXPIRE_PASSWD));

            // Create the context
            System.out.println("Creating context...");
            Context result = ctx.createSubcontext(userName, attrs);
            System.out.println("Created disabled account for: " + userName);

            ctx.close();

            System.out.println("Successfully created User: " + userName);

        } catch (NamingException e) {
            System.err.println("Problem creating object: " + e);
        }

        catch (IOException e) {
            System.err.println("Problem creating object: " + e);
        }


    }
}

Still have following problem:

String newQuotedPassword = "\"Pass123\"";
        byte[] newUnicodePassword = newQuotedPassword.getBytes("UTF-16");
        attrs.put("unicodePwd", newUnicodePassword);

gives me the following exception:

Creating initial directory context... Problem creating object: java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException: UTF16LE

note: I disabled the requirement for SSL to change the password

EDIT 3: apparently the "User Account control" is not supported by AD LDS and is split up in a number of different attributes.

You perhaps can have a look to Using JAVA code with Active Directory especialy Creating new users & demystifying userAccountControl

For me you forgot the "CN" attribute.
