attribute question

[MichaelA1]

Hi:

I am trying to send in a CreateAccountRequest SOAP call to Zimbra API. If I just send in <name> and <password> elements. Zimbra create new account successfully. But when I try to add custom attributes to the xml, Zimbra returns http 500.

Here is the XML I am using :

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
<soap:Header>
<context xmlns="urn:zimbra">
<authToken>ValidToken</authToken>
</context>
</soap:Header>
<soap:Body>
<CreateAccountRequest xmlns="urn:zimbraAdmin">
<name>name@domain</name>
<password>myverystrongpassword</password>
<a n="firstname">test</a>
<a n="lastname">test</a>
</CreateAccountRequest>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>


Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Thanks.

You need to use valid LDAP attr names. The list is in the zimbraAccount object class. You can find it here.

For the two you tried it should be gn (Givename) and sn (Sur Name)
