Fwd: LDAP module unable to resolve a memberOf attribute

Hi,
I'm currently in the process of integration FreeRADIUS with 802.1x
(EAP-TTLS/PAP) and FreeIPA (LDAP). If I don't perform group membership
checking credential verification is working just fine. But when I try to
validate membership of a user to an LDAP group it's failing during the
check of the "groupOf" attribute. The user I am testing (
*"uid=rolo,cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=example,dc=org"*) is member to many
groups (*"cn=XXXX,cn=groups,cn=accounts,dc=example,dc=org"*) in FreeIPA,
and also has admin rights to the server so has many entries in the
style *"cn=Replication
Administrators,cn=privileges,cn=pbac,dc=example,dc=org"* (for example).
As FreeRADIUS goes down the list of groups to resolve the DN to a group
name for comparison it seems to hit a wall with the second entry in the
list. I thinking it could be because of the space in the first CN portion.
It then returns the message *"ERROR: Group DN "cn=Replication
Administrators,cn=privileges,cn=pbac,dc=example,dc=org" did not resolve to
an object"*.

Using a standard 'ldapsearch' on the command line I *am* able to retrieve
the *"cn=Replication
Administrators,cn=privileges,cn=pbac,dc=example,dc=org"* object
successfully, so I'm not sure why it said it does not resolve to an object.
I tried taking a look at src/modules/rlm_ldap/groups.c and
src/modules/rlm_ldap/ldap.c but, not being a C programmer, I got lost
fairly quickly.
Is it the space that's causing the error (that's all I can see)?
Thanks,
