SID-02370: LdapContrib, One username not importing correctly

Status:	Asked	TWiki version:	6.0.2	Perl version:	5.16.3
Category:	LdapContrib	Server OS:	CentOS 7, 3.10.0-514.16.1.el7.x86_64	Last update:	7 years ago

Hello,

LdapContrib has been working great with the exception of one user. For some reason, when this users name gets cached, it gets messed up.

Their username format is firstname.three_part_lastname@domainPLEASENOSPAM.com

We have other users with firstname.twopart_lastname@domainPLEASENOSPAM.com and those ones work fine.

However, the user with the 3 part last name gets corrupted when cached. When i do a db_dump of cache.db and grep the users name i find a bad entry firstname.three\part_lastname@domain.com under "UNKNOWNGROUPS". Notice the slash in that one. I'm assuming this is somehow blocking her access.

When i check the TWiki warning logs, i find the below warnings. There is an odd symbol replacing the _par part of their name.

| 2018-08-06 - 21:27:05 | (TWiki::Contrib::LdapContrib) LdapContrib - no result looking for group <b>firstname.threeÞr_lastname@domain.com</b> in LDAP (groupAttribute cn). Adding group to ignore list. (10.252.3.7/ssoid/Main.TWikiGroups/LdapContrib.pm:2184)

I've deleted the cache.db and rebuilt it, but the results are the same.

However, if I create an ldap query on a topic to pull users and groups her name shows up correctly there.

Note, that this was a conversion from using TWikiUsers to LDAP. I've PreserveTWikiUserMapping and Normalized the Wiki Names.
