Hi Matt, I think you have a different problem.
First, the LDAP names returned by the attribute you specifiy in "Display Name Field", are being "transformed" to ownCloud names. An ownCloud user name may consist of the characters a-zA-Z0-9.-_@ . While we replaces blank spaces with underscores, everything else is simply omitted. E.g. "My.Namé" would became "MyNam" (yes, there is not transliteration for now).
Hint: Logging in is of course possible with your usual LDAP name which is checked against the attribute you specify in "User Login Filter". It can contain dots, weird characters and what not.
Now, the reason why you probably see no one in the sharing-drop down is that you can only share to people that are in the same groups you are in. Since ownCloud 4.0.5 you can disable this behaviour and share with all by setting the hook at Settings → Admin → Enable sharing with everyone

Hello I found a problem with ldap. I use the ldap groups and user backend. I can't use usernames with a '.' in it. I can login, but I can't share files. The other users not appears in the lists of users. Maybe it is because posix not allows this kind of uid. Is there a solution for that? If not, I have to change 60 accounts. The users won't be happy with that. greeting matt _______________________________________________ Owncloud mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/owncloud
