LDAP and Google Auth both don't handle non-breaking spaces

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

How to reproduce: Open Libreoffice 3.0+. Press ctrl-shift-space to create a non 
breaking space which is different than a normal space. Enter it in the password 
field and you get an error 
'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xa0' in position 17: ordinal not in 
range(128) on 

Need some type of validation to strip out these characters in both LDAP groups 
and Google LDAP.

We should fork LDAP groups since the project is dead and doesn't fix bugs 
anymore.
