Resolution
Workaround:
From the services-messages.log find the InvalidNameException to determine the group with the invalid name.
Rename or or delete the group name in the user source that is generating the LDAP exception to use proper format for LDAP query. Example no carriage return/line feed or other illegal characters in the group name
