Transform white spaces to dots in LDAP login
Added by Daniel Kröger over 10 years ago.
Updated about 8 years ago.
Description
Since many LDAP sources in enterprises will be a Microsoft Active Directory where white spaces in login names are common it would be nice if when someone tries to login with such a login the white spaces would be transformed to dots so that a mapping for existing logins and creation of on-the-fly logins are possible.
Example: Login name "Foo Bar" would be transformed to "foo.bar"

We have such an AD environment, it contains usernames (the 'sAMAccountName' LDAP Attribute) with spaces in it.
I am not able to create a user with a space in the name from within foreman.
I have tried replacing the whitespace with '%20' or a '.' to no avail.
When I try with a user which does not have a space in his sAMAccountName, it is working fine.

As mentioned in linked BZ, using userPrincipalName might be a better approach than allowing spaces in sAMAccountName. sAMAccountName is supposed to be used for backwards compatibility with legacy Microsoft systems. userPrincipalName contains user login name. Would that be a viable solution? We should probably fix it in our manual.
Marek, who do you need the info from?
