WORKAROUND

To workaround this issue, use the appropriate method.

Object creation:
Avoid using the attribute "adixMan" in object class definitions. Use another mandatory attribute than "adixMan" for the
affected object class definition (please refer to the NNS ADix help topic Using Object Class Definitions).
See the MORE INFORMATION section to get more information about using the auxiliary attribute "adixMan".

Object update:
Avoid using the attribute "adixMan" when updating objects. Further you can safely ignore this issue when updating objects.

MORE INFORMATION

The creation of some object types does not require to set mandatory attributes, because all mandatory attributes will be set by the
Directory Service automatically.
In contrast NNS ADix requires that every object class definition must have at least one mandatory attribute set. Therefore the auxiliary attribute
"adixMan" is used as a placeholder attribute and will be skipped during the import process. The value provided for this attribute does not matter.
