This diagnostic message says that the 2nd value does not conform to the
syntax, here 'DistinguishedName' for attribute type 'member'. Maybe you
could post the data you're trying to add?

It might be that very old versions of OpenLDAP (prior 2.3) were more
loose on some syntax checking. But if the attribute values of 'member'
are all valid DNs there should not be any problem.

That's because the OpenLDAP server rejects the input data as invalid.
