Scalix Forums

I'm using AD with SSO for my test Scalix environment.
I had an issue adding a Distribution List where the Display Name was prefixed with an exclamation mark ! when selecting option 3 Update the Dir after some changes.
It returned [OM 16078] an attributes value contains invalid characters in the errorlog.

I then removed the Distribution List from AD and tried the option 3 Update the Dir sync again.

Now it reports Failed to locate in LDAP id G3pRk+mzA............... errorcode UM-1015

Firstly, are ! supported in Scalix for Distribution List names. We have about 160 in production.

2 how can i resolve the Failed to locate issue without re-initialising the ldapsync. I won't be able to re-initilise the ldapsync when in production.

Some characters are in fact disallowed in some directory attributes, the exclamation mark being one excample here.

These problems can either be fixed on the directory/source side by renaming the offending entries and then re-synching. If this is not possible, we can re-map during the omldapsync process.

The place to do this is the sync.cfg configuration file for your agreement, look for the mapping of the attribute, i.e. replace



with



to map the "!" into a "+" (which will serve the same purpose and work in the field).
