Stash does not understand Crowd's nested groups
Asked by SamK:

Hi,

I have a Stash installation linked to Crowd (linked to Active Directory with nested groups enabled)

It looks like Stash does not understand nested group even if the related checkbox is enabled.

At the end of the sync the error message is "Synchronisation failed. See server logs for details."

The log file says:

```

How to make all these things work together?

body: Hi Samuel,

Unfortunately, you've hit a bug that is triggered by a group name containing the { and } characters ({672ad2a4-ced0-43f8-aa51-d0560057675a}). This groupname triggers the system to try and format a log message incorrectly.

I've raised <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CWD-3241> for it. Please 'watch' the issue to keep track of our progress in resolving the issue.
