• Add an ApacheDS LDAP directory
• Add a group to the directory
• Load the group again
• Untick the "Active" checkbox
• Click Update

Expected: I don't know what is supposed to happen on the LDAP server.

Actual: An empty 'description' attribute is added to the group LDAP entry. The page reloads and it still says that the group is active.

Note:

• If I try to the uncheck again and click update an error message is shown on the page (notice the missing substitution string):

  org.springframework.ldap.AttributeInUseException: [LDAP: error code 20 - ATTRIBUTE_OR_VALUE_EXISTS: failed for Modify Request Object : 'cn=testgroup1,ou=1k,ou=Test,ou=system' Modification[0] Operation : add Modification description: : ERR_254 Trying to add existing value {0} to attribute description]; nested exception is javax.naming.directory.AttributeInUseException: [LDAP: error code 20 - ATTRIBUTE_OR_VALUE_EXISTS: failed for Modify Request Object : 'cn=testgroup1,ou=1k,ou=Test,ou=system' Modification[0] Operation : add Modification description: : ERR_254 Trying to add existing value {0} to attribute description]; remaining name 'cn=testgroup1,ou=1k,ou=Test,ou=system'
