[one-users] Sunstone LDAP and user passwords with special characters

[Steven Timm]

We do not use ldap but we have seen a similar issue with opennebula
authentication with X.509 certificates.  OpenNebula compresses all the
white space out of the Distinguished Name of the certificate.. I would
not be surprised if it did the same for ldap.  As far as I know it is 
meant to be a feature. If you are changing the passwd manually with the 
oneuser command you have to strip all the whitespace out on your own.
