I hope that this has nothing to do with why I'm unable to login into Activiti-Explorer.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Here is some info on google, as to the cause and fix for LDAP Error 34. I tried the combinations but with little success. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Cause/Fix: This error occurs when you use the LDAP User Name Option, and the User Name has been entered with an invalid Syntax. The correct Name syntax is: ?cn=userid,ou=group,ou=division,o=organization". Refer to the POA startup file for more details on this specific error</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Any help is much appreciated.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Sun, 28 Jun 2015 01:16:50 GMT maxbaba 2015-06-28T01:16:50Z What userid format to use: LDAP Error 34 - Invalid DN syntax https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/what-userid-format-to-use-ldap-error-34-invalid-dn-syntax/m-p/175824#M128954 Hi - I have the following configuration in my activiti-custom-context.xml.
