Sorry about this trouble. Which version of iRedAdmin-Pro are you running?

Re: 404 Error when creating Mail User via API

You missed '/iredadmin' before '/api/' in URL.
https://<server>/iredadmin/api/user/<mail>

Re: 404 Error when creating Mail User via API

Thanks for the help. However when I create a mail user with this POST, the user is created with the password, language and quota set, but the name is not set. The display name field is empty.

What I sent:

c:\cURL>curl -X POST -i -b cookie.txt -k -d "name=Some Company&password=#A123456&language-en-us&quota=512" https://mx1.mydomain.com/iredadmin/api/ … domain.com

Re: 404 Error when creating Mail User via API

With iRedAdmin-Pro-LDAP-2.6.1, please use "cn" instead of "name". Sorry about the confusion.

In upcoming iRedAdmin-Pro release, several parameter names have been changed:

- old: `cn` -> new: `name`
- old: `mailQuota` -> new: `quota`
- old: `preferredLanguage` -> new: `language`

Re: 404 Error when creating Mail User via API

Thanks for the guidance. I have another issue. After importing ~494 the API Create Mail User function starts returning the following error. Ran the import twice and it happened at exactly the same place.

c:\cURL>c:\cURL\curl -X POST -i -b cookie.txt -k -d "cn=SPG Inc.&password=#A123456&language=en_US&quota=128" https://mx1.mydomain.com/iredadmin/api/ … domain.com

Re: 404 Error when creating Mail User via API

Do you have setting 'maxsize' in /etc/openldap/slapd.conf? If not, please add it after 'database xxx' line like below:

maxsize     2147483648

Then restart OpenLDAP service.
