By DL do you mean Distribution List?

We have to add a DL in the AD having special characters (like '/') in the DN field. While trying to do it through JNDI, we are getting the InvalidNameexception. We are using the following code to add the DL. newCntxt.createSubcontext(DN, storeAttr); Here is the exception trace, 25 Jun 2009 13:42:50,420 | [ERROR] | javax.naming.InvalidNameException: "CN=vpim-group with/nomembers,ou=vpim,ou=Mail,ou=Applications,ou=US Firm Wide,dc=apps2,dc=net": [LDAP: error code 34 - 00002073: NameErr: DSID-030507EB, problem 2003 (BAD_ATT_SYNTAX), data 0, best match of: 'CN=vpim-group with/nomembers,ou=vpim,ou=Mail,ou=Applications,ou=US Firm Wide,dc=apps2,dc=net' remaining name '"CN=vpim-group with/nomembers,ou=vpim,ou=Mail,ou=Applications,ou=US Firm Wide,dc=apps2,dc=net"' at com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtx.processReturnCode(LdapCtx.java:2943) at com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtx.processReturnCode(LdapCtx.java:2758) at com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtx.c_createSubcontext(LdapCtx.java:774) at com.sun.jndi.toolkit.ctx.ComponentDirContext.p_createSubcontext(Componen tDirContext.java:319) at com.sun.jndi.toolkit.ctx.PartialCompositeDirContext.createSubcontext(Par tialCompositeDirContext.java:248) at javax.naming.directory.InitialDirContext.createSubcontext(InitialDirCont ext.java:183) at com.cisco.sasg.adtool.LDAPSync.getAttr(LDAPSync.java:895) at com.cisco.sasg.adtool.LDAPSync.syncMember(LDAPSync.java:1063) at com.cisco.sasg.adtool.CustomerAD.provisionVpim(CustomerAD.java:873) at com.cisco.sasg.adtool.ADControl.provisionVPIM(ADControl.java:759) at com.cisco.sasg.adtool.ADControl.provision(ADControl.java:545) at com.cisco.sasg.adtool.ADControl.run(ADControl.java:170) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619) We have already tried following two options, but still getting the same exception. Option1: To use CompositeName Name composite = new CompositeName().add(DN); newCntxt.createSubcontext(composite , storeAttr); Option2: To use NameParser NameParser ldapParser = newCntxt.getNameParser(""); Name compound = ldapParser.parse(DN); newCntxt.createSubcontext(compound, storeAttr); Any inputs will be highly appreciable. Please let me know, if you needs any further information. Regards, Deepthi Directory Team | Infosys - Cisco
