Yes. Work on vcenter apliance 5.1.
I don't fancy having to change the usernames of all our users so that they can login to vcenter.
(Before anyone asks - I am not to thrilled that we use spaces in usernames, but it's a legacy conventions that I have been unable to influence.)
Either way, it's supported in AD, so if vcenter supports AD auth, then it should be supported by vcenter as well.
Have you been able to find any workarounds?
I have tried:
1. \20 (instead of space)
2. Using the email address instead of username
3. Double and single quotes
Nothing works for me.
From looking at the domain controller logs, it seems that vcenter is sending on the "firstname^lastname" as the username instead of "firstname lastname".
Obviously, AD cannot match this to a valid username/password combination and denies login.
