How to handle spaces in user names? about nsscache

[jaqx0r]

Does the cn or uid field hold spaces on the server? I.e. does an ldapsearch
give you the same results?

Yes, here's a sample from ldapsearch (again filtered for privacy):

# Proj Trainer, Users, my.example.com
dn: CN=Proj Trainer,CN=Users,DC=my,DC=example,DC=com

I think this is because I'm talking to an Active Directory server. I've hit a lot of bumps but I've almost got it working.

FYI the ignore names on write workaround seems to work fine. I haven't gotten all the other bugs worked out yet, but I can submit a patch. I imagine other LDAP systems have a convention for this situation, though.

We could add a command to choose to either ignore names with whitespace, or apply a transformation function.
