Hi,

I have a set of custom attributes that were successfully used with FreeIPA version 4.2.

Now I’m trying to make them work in the latest version but keep getting an error:

So far I tried version 4.6.4 and 4.7.2.

Here are the ldif files that are used for adding attributes and objectless information.
