An additional thought about whitespace and LDAP

I will have to test it, but it could be that the problem I have with using

ldapclient -v manual \
-a credentialLevel=self \
-a authenticationMethod=sasl/gssapi \
...

is that as all the users are in Active Directory OUs named things like "EMEA ENG" or "APR ENG".

As I reported earlier I had a number of problems with whitespace in the ldapclient command line. It could be that this was another problem with whitespace. However, this problem was masked by occurring at a stage where it appeared everything was working successfully.

Hopefully I can rename the OUs to be EMEA, APR, etc and resolve the issue.
