The addGroup functionality in Crowd does not currently correctly implement an approach to add a user to ApacheDS. The issue here is that according the RFC-2256 the groupOfUniqueNames Object Class requires that the uniquemember field cannot be left blank (ie it is a required field).
Currently our code is trying to get around this by adding a blank string into this field, but ApacheDS even with this approach does not allow this. Currently I do not have a solution beyond providing some kind of user picker on the add group page, so a person can choose a member to add to this group. However, we still need to take into account adding groups via our SOAP interface and also via the importers. http://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CWD-318 I am wondering if there is a way that we can create a group with Apache DS and not have to provide any initial members so the group? If I put in an empty string I then need to know to ignore the empty uniquemember when processing the attributes on a search. Cheers, Justen -- Justen Stepka http://www.jstepka.name/blog/
