Unable to add groups to LDAP directory through crowd UI

    • Directory - LDAP

    • Crowd 2.2.0m5
      Apache Directory Server 1.5

      • Add an LDAP directory to Crowd
      • Go to the groups tab and add a new Group to the LDAP directory that was just added.

      Expected: Group to be created and propagated to LDAP server
      Actual: Error occurs

      Note: I can add groups directly from applications that use Crowd Server as their directory and that action propagates fine to LDAP server.

            You should be able to work around this error by ensuring that you have filled in the "Description field."

            This is something to do with directory implementations which do not support empty strings as values.
            Seems the problem is not limited to adding group. I will have to go through all the operations on Group and User.
