JNDI InvalidnameException for CN 'LastName, FirstName'

Question

Hi:

I am writing to active directory using JNDI, it is successful for

"CN=Yuri Gagarin,OU=Admins,DC=ead,DC=ubc,DC=ca"; but fails for

"CN=Gagarin, Yuri,OU=Admins,DC=ead,DC=ubc,DC=ca".

I need to store displayName, cn, name in the format 'lastName, FirstName'.

What do I need to do to get this going?

Thanks very much.

Use \ to escape the comma:

"CN=Gagarin\, Yuri,OU=Admins,DC=ead,DC=ubc,DC=ca"
