(ERROR) : [sm-xpsxps-01080] Error occurred during "Add" for "xpsNumber=09******,ou=XPS,ou=policysvr4,ou=siteminder,ou=netegrity,DC=test,DC=testenv,DC=testenvcorp", text: No such attribute

Environment

Release : 12.8.x and 12.9 (Applicable to all the supported releases)
Component: SMPLC (Siteminder Policy Server)

Cause

The error 'No such attribute": "xpsNumber=09******,ou=XPS,ou=policysvr4,ou=siteminder,ou=netegrity,DC=test,DC=testenv,DC=testenvcorp", text: No such attribute means the schema (smldapsetup ldmod  ADLDS.ldif) is not imported properly.  

The usual trap for preparing " ADLDS.ldif " is wrong {guid} substitution.

To easily find out which {guid} to use, please lookup the file generated by " smldapsetup ldgen ". It contains the correct {guid}.

Resolution

Issue was related to ADLDS replication overriding the Object in the Store created by the smldapsetup commands.

Once the replication issue was addressed, XPSDDInstall completed with no errors.
