    Description

      Steps to reproduce:
      1. Create base case of Confluence (I used Confluence 3.5.1, but I'm confident that this affects all current versions of 3.5.x+)
      2. Create a record in LDAP-- LDIF attached to ticket (asdf.ldif)
      3. User directory > Add this ldap as a read-only with local groups.

      Sync fails with this error:

      The origin of this case traces back to korean characters in the cn of an Active Directory group reference.
