[Bug 1195039] Re: Whitespaces in login name cause authentication problems

Things worth checking:

a) If the LDAP server indicates in some way the correct unix username
for that account then make sure pam_ldap is correctly setting PAM_USER
it to this value (so other modules will use it).

b) If it is expected behaviour that the LDAP server ignores whitespace
then libpam-ldap should pre-strip the whitespace itself and update the
PAM_USER value.
