Symptoms

Running the provsubtool.orc tool to assign the provisioning profile to existing users and the orclApplicationCommonName contains one space, like the following:

./provsubtool.orc bind_dn="cn=orcladmin" bind_pwd=<PASSWORD> ldap_host=<OID_HOSTNAME> ldap_port=<OID_PORT> app_dn="orclApplicationCommonName=<EBS_APP_NAME>,cn=EBusiness,cn=Products,cn=OracleContext,dc=<COMPANY>,dc=com" realm_dn="dc=<COMPANY>,dc=com" list_name=ACCOUNTS operation=ADD file_name=members.lst file_type=0

Returns the following error:

Exception Encountered : oracle.ldap.util.InvalidParameterException: UnSupported Argument - <EBS_APP_NAME>,cn
oracle.ldap.util.InvalidParameterException: UnSupported Argument - <EBS_APP_NAME>,cn
at oracle.ldap.odip.prov.ProvUpdSubscriptionList.validateCmdArgs(ProvUpdSubscriptionList.java:207)
at oracle.ldap.odip.prov.ProvUpdSubscriptionList.main(ProvUpdSubscriptionList.java:473)


- OR -

If there is a space in the bind_dn value (like for "cn=Directory Manager") then the probsubtool will return -

Exception Encountered : oracle.ldap.util.InvalidParameterException: Parameter value not specified. Please specify

oracle.ldap.util.InvalidParameterException: Parameter value not specified.
