Description Florian Best univentionstaff 2014-11-20 13:19:47 CET 
Reported by traceback feedback.

Note: this is not Bug #30837 and not Bug #25281. As you can see in the error message the DN is empty. We had such reports before but I am unable to imagine how this can be reproduced. We need more information / better error handling.

Traceback:

Comment 1 Florian Best univentionstaff 2014-11-28 11:28:20 CET 
Have a look at Bug #31828. Maybe this is the answer for all these tracebacks with empty DN's! (By using a user without posix option) ;)!!!
Comment 2 Florian Best univentionstaff 2014-12-04 14:19:12 CET 
The exception is raised in the udm/create method.
The superordinate is not provided. Looks like a failure in the frontend. Maybe due to commend #1, but not sure.
Comment 3 Florian Best univentionstaff 2015-01-09 10:18:20 CET 
With UCS 4.0-0 errata 18 this error will not occur as traceback anymore. Nevertheless there seems to be a error in the frontend. (browser related?)
Bug #25281/Bug #30809: after removing a superordinate the tree gets reloaded with a not existing DN sent to the server.
Bug #34245: an empty DN is sent when creating a superordinate object.
Bug #36918: an empty superordinate-DN is sent when creating a object.
Comment 4 Florian Best univentionstaff 2015-01-09 13:31:38 CET 
As I currently cannot reproduce it tagging to 4.0-x. Maybe we get more remarks from 3.2-4 which explains the reason.

Another idea was:
Ich glaube das tritt vor allem auf, wenn man alte / falsche Objekte hat, die eigentlich unter einem superordinate liegen müssten, es aber nicht tun.
Comment 5 Florian Best univentionstaff 2015-02-05 15:34:15 CET 
I imagine one way to reproduce this → having a environment with very much DNS/DHCP entries (~1000) will cause that the form is not yet fully initialized when pressing on search (some request takes long) so that an empty string is sent.
Comment 6 Florian Best univentionstaff 2016-10-21 13:38:03 CEST 
Error handling improved in UCS 4.0 and the javascript race conditions where fixed in Bug #42177.
