InvalidNameException occurs for rolesCtxDN using LdapExtLoginModule in EAP

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

We have an application that uses role-based authorization. I have configured my login-config.xml file with the appropriate LDAP settings:-

    <authentication>
        <login-module code="org.jboss.security.auth.spi.LdapExtLoginModule" flag="required">
            ...(snip)...
            <module-option name="rolesCtxDN">CN=Domain Admins,CN=Users,DC=redhat,DC=com</module-option>
            <module-option name="throwValidateError">true</module-option>
        </login-module>
    </authentication>

But the application fails to let me login, and throws an exception:-

javax.naming.InvalidNameException: ,CN=Domain Admins,CN=Users,DC=domain1,DC=winlab,DC=fab,DC=redhat,DC=com: [LDAP: error code 34 - 0000208F: NameErr: DSID-031001D1, problem 2006 (BAD_NAME), data 8350, best match of:
    ',CN=Domain Admins,CN=Users,DC=domain1,DC=winlab,DC=fab,DC=redhat,DC=com'
^@]; remaining name ',CN=Domain Admins,CN=Users,DC=domain1,DC=winlab,DC=fab,DC=redhat,DC=com'
