Hi.

I defined and added a custom attribute into the LDAP and i mapped it to the Portal using the commands mentioned in [http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infoce...atts_win.html]

I can create a new user using PumaController's createUser specifying a value for the custom attribute. Querying the value using PUMA works fine as well. But when I try to update that value using PumaController's setAttributes or addAttributes method i get the following exception:

In fact, I get this exception trying to update any user attribute.

The exception message isn't very helpful for me, have you ever dealt with this problem before?

Thanks in advance.
