Description:
Users experience the following exception when importing an LDAP user who's screen name is the same as a site's friendly URL:

com.liferay.portal.GroupFriendlyURLException
    at com.liferay.portal.service.impl.UserLocalServiceImpl.validateScreenName(UserLocalServiceImpl.java:6238)
    at com.liferay.portal.service.impl.UserLocalServiceImpl.validate(UserLocalServiceImpl.java:5949)
    at com.liferay.portal.service.impl.UserLocalServiceImpl.addUserWithWorkflow(UserLocalServiceImpl.java:746)
    at com.liferay.portal.service.impl.UserLocalServiceImpl.addUser(UserLocalServiceImpl.java:608)

This error is unclear and has brought on some confusion. Improved logging could help to inform users of what the exception means which would reduce confusion.

Steps To Reproduce:

1. Startup Liferay 6.2 SP9
2. Create a site with the name "justin"
3. Create an LDAP user with the screen name of "justin"
4. Setup Liferay to connect to the LDAP server
5. Attempt to import an LDAP user

Expected Results:
The user fails to import and the exception explains that the site URL or screen name requires modification.

Actual Results:
The user fails to import and the above exception is thrown which confuses clients.
