Just out of curiosity, what do you have being defined as your 
"principalAttributeName" defined as? We are using sAMAccountName and I don't 
think I have seen that as an issue.  If I recall ...  I did that so that no 
matter what a person typed lower or upper, I got back what the account  should 
be otherwise I was having to uppercase the userid to match what was in PS 
before making use of it.

Subject: [cas-user] trimming user name

We have been running CAS 3.5.0 for about a year now with LDAP as our 
credentials source.  Things are working very well for the most part.  One 
problem is that if a user has a space preceding their user name our LDAP 
accepts that and passes credentials.  This doesn't affect our Liferay portal, 
but when users hit anything in our Peoplesoft arena the CAS auth for that fails 
because of the space before the name (a space after the name is no problem).
So, we'd simply like to trim the user name before hitting the LDAP for 
credentials check.  But, I'm not sure what is the best (and simplest) way to do 
that.  I found CAS issue CAS-1260 which indicates that we could use Spring to 
accomplish this "via a specific Property Editor".  But, not being well versed 
in Java and even less with Spring I'm not clear on how exactly to accomplish 
what seems to be something that should be simple.

Any suggestions or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
