Bug when creating Active Directory group

[duboisst]

I try to create a group but I get the following error:

NoMethodError (undefined method `map' for 18400597803079440689678002902069631524796887079072566:Bignum):

Here is my ruby code to create a group

group_dn='cn=foo,ou=bar,dc=my,dc=company,dc=com'
groupname='foo'    
grouptype = 0x80000008
ldap_con = Net::LDAP.new({ :host => 'my_host', :port => 389, :encryption => nil, :auth => { :method => :simple, :username => 'my_username', :password => 'my_password' }})
ldap_con.open do |ldap|
      ldap.add(:dn => group_dn, :attributes => {:samaccountname => groupname,
                  :mailNickname => groupname,
                  :displayName => groupname,
                  :groupType => grouptype})
end

The error occurs only if I try to set the attribute :groupType, but if I don't set it the group is not created.

I have done some debugging and found that the issue occurs when the Initialize method of Net::LDAP::PDU calls parse_controls(ber_object[2])

def parse_controls(sequence)
    @ldap_controls = sequence.map do |control|
      o = OpenStruct.new
      o.oid, o.criticality, o.value = control[0], control[1], control[2]
      if o.criticality and o.criticality.is_a?(String)
        o.value = o.criticality
        o.criticality = false
      end
      o
    end
  end

That's not a bug. I had the same error some weeks ago and in the end it was a type error. There was a array missing at some point. I will have a look at my code tonight and reply again.

Sorry - I was blind - please try

grouptype = "0x80000008"

Thanks for your time !
With
grouptype = "0x80000008"
I don't get any runtime error , but the group is not created and get_operation_result returns
unknown result (21)
Any idea why ?

Found !
grouptype must be a string of a decimal number

group_dn='cn=foo,ou=bar,dc=my,dc=company,dc=com'
groupname='foo'    
grouptype = "2147483656"
ldap_con = Net::LDAP.new({ :host => 'my_host', :port => 389, :encryption => nil, :auth => { :method => :simple, :username => 'my_username', :password => 'my_password' }})
ldap_con.open do |ldap|
      ldap.add(:dn => group_dn, :attributes => {:samaccountname => groupname,
                  :mailNickname => groupname,
                  :displayName => groupname,
                  :groupType => grouptype})
end
