Ned help with configuring CA identity manager r12.5 - extend schema

Need some help with configuring CA identity manager r12.5.

Am trying to extend the schema to add few additional attributes(as per my authoritative source).

Below are the steps I followed:
1) Updated the directory configuration(using xml file) to add the new attributes through Management console.
2) Created a new file extendcadir.dxc(contents as below)

schema set oid-prefix caAtPrefix = (2.5.4);

schema set attribute caAtPrefix:59 = {

name = employeestatus

ldap-names = employeestatus

syntax = caseIgnoreString

single-valued

};

3) Referenced the extendcadir.dxc in default1.dxc.(as config/schema/default.dxg was read-only)

4) Updated config/server/directoryfile.dxi to refer to default1.dxc


The first step worked and the attributes are listed under cadir/user tab.
However when I try to create a user from CA IAM user console(logged in as Admin),
I get the following error:


Create User task, User shubha: Create user "shubha" in organization "Employee": Failed to execute CreateUserEvent. ERROR MESSAGE: [LDAP: error code 17 - employeestatus]


Am I missing any steps? or is there a different way to achieve this?

Please Advice.
