LDAP Authentication Fails Becuase Username Has Space

L2 Linker

Running into an issue with LDAP authentication.  I'am able to successfully login via LDAP authentication when the username does not contain a space.  However if the username contains a space (ie palo alto) the system logs show "User \'test\palo alto\' failed authentication.  Reason: Authentication profile not found for the user From: x.x.x.x". I recall finding some documentation on this issue which stated to add an "_", "-", or "." instead of the space for the username but that does not work.  Anyone else have a fix or workaround for this issue?

I recall seeing some document a while ago, which of course I cannot find now, that said if you put a '.','-',or '_' it should convert it into a space in LDAP.
