We have discovered an issue with LDAP. In the Login Options when it says "'User Name' attribute in this object", we had to change it for the client to use the field sAMAccountName (which is the username they use to log into thier network).

When we did this the Plugin stopped working for any user that had a full stop (ie ".") in thier sAMAccountName, so for example "j.smith" would not login successfully it throws an "Invalid Credentials" error. The server output is shown below. If you remove the dot (full stop) the login works correctly.

Unfortunately I can't get the client to change their username naming convention (they use inital.lastname).

Is this a bug (and can it be fixed?) or is it an known limitation that can not be fixed?

Thanks

Rod
