Description

I setup Syncope with an AD as a remote resource for users and a Postgres DB for internal resources.

I added a virtual attribute to my user schema named: groupMember.
For my AD resource schema mapping I assigned this virtual attribute to memberOf AD attribute.

When I try to change (creating a new user or updating an exsisting one) my groupMember attribute in syncope, I'll get the following error message:

Error:{[GenericPersistence [FEHLER: ungültige Byte-Sequenz für Kodierung »UTF8«: 0x00

{prepstmnt 311355524 INSERT INTO public.TaskExec (id, enddate, message, startdate, status, task_id) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?) [params=?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?]}

[code=0, state=22021]]], }

After investigating into this issue, I discovered that the reason for my error message is, that memberOf attribute in AD is read only. So I can not change this value. However the error message does not provide any hint to the real issue. So please provide a better error message.
