I have a group name which contains special characters.
CN=IN&T DC Gebnn/Dohn,OU=ABGroups,OU=Hammers,DC=MyCompany,DC=int
I am trying to get the attributes of this group using the following code:
String lstrFullGpName = CN=IN&T DC Gebnn/Dohn,OU=ABGroups,OU=Hammers,DC=MyCompany,DC=int;
Attributes groupAttributes = actxDir.getAttributes(lstrFullGpName);
This throws the following error:
Exception in thread "main" javax.naming.NamingException: [LDAP: error code 1 - 000020D6: SvcErr: DSID-031006CC, problem 5012 (DIR_ERROR), data 0 ]; remaining name ' CN=IN&T DC Gebnn/Dohn,OU=ABGroups,OU=Hammers,DC=MyCompany,DC=int'

I tried escaping the special characters, but that did not work. Any idea why this error could be occurring?
I was finally able to find a solution to this problem. Issues was with the DC in the user name.
