I had an issue with my openfire server showing errors everytime we would lookup a person's profile. It turned out that since a few of ldap fields results contained $ it failed. So I changed the following

org.jivesoftware.openfire.ldap.LdapVCardProvider$VCard.treeWalk in file LdapVCardProvider.java at line 521

from

format = format.replaceFirst("({)(" + field + ")(})", value);

to

format = format.replaceFirst("({)(" + field + ")(})", java.util.regex.Matcher.quoteReplacement(value));
