After upgrading from liferay 5.2.3 to Liferay 6.0 we saw this error. It seems that 3 portletproperties are missing:

ldap.user.custom.mappings.<ldapServerId>=
ldap.contact.mappings.<ldapServerId>=
ldap.contact.custom.mappings.<ldapServerId>=

The issue can be worked around by adding these to the portal-ext.properties. (thanks Robert Lindblom)

The error:
