LDAP $dn syntax

Hi,

I got a problem inserting contacts into the active directory LDAP.
Im using the default LDAP connector, I suspect this is not a TDI problem 
but a LDAP syntax problem.

The customer uses the following format in the AD LDAP.
CN=lastname\, Firstname,OU=TDI,DC=subdc,DC=pridc,DC=com

when adding this syntax to the $dn and
verified that cn is lastname\, Firstname.

objectClass is in TDI syntax 
["top","person","organizationalPerson","conta
ct"]

The error message I am getting is this:

javax.naming.InvalidNameException: CN=John\, 
Doe,OU=TDI,DC=subdc,DC=pridc,DC=com: [LDAP: error code 34 - 00002081: 
NameErr: DSID-03050AE0, problem 2003 (BAD_ATT_SYNTAX), data 0

I suspect it has to do with the CN syntax, but the customer is using 
this syntax in their AD tree.

Hope some of you can help me with this.

Thanks in advance

Max,

in your CN mapping, do you specify the backslash? Try NOT to.

i.e

cn: Doe, John
$dn: cn=Doe\, John, OU=TDI,DC=subdc,DC=pridc,DC=com

Please let us know if this helps.

Cheers,

Christian

Christian,

Thanks,
I did map the cn: to Doe\, John.
After changing the syntax as you suggested it worked like a charm :)

Thanks alot for your help,
