Running this code results in a message that says (the names have been
obfuscated but the structure of the names is right):

Problem adding member: javax.naming.InvalidNameException:
CN=MyGroup,OU=VAP,OU=MyOU ,OU=Rights,OU=Groups,OU=Americas,DC=na,DC=msds,DC=rhi,DC=com:

[LDAP: error code 34 - 00000057: LdapErr: DSID-0C090A85, comment:
Error in attri
bute conversion operation, data 0, vece ];

I know the name exists and I can add members using VBScript.

Here is the JSP - does anyone see what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks.
