Title:
  LightDM + LDAP accounts hang if username is preceded with whitespace

Status in nss_ldap:
  New
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This might affect PAM and/or nslcd instead, but lightdm should be able
  to cope with it.

  We have our users in an OpenLDAP directory, and I have disabled the
  user list from lightdm. Some people seem to have the habit of waking
  the monitor by pressing the spacebar, thus entering their username
  with a preceding whitespace.

  I have a line like this in syslog;

  nslcd[2624]: [ac3ac4] username changed from " haneliuh" to "haneliuh"

  The expected behaviour would be to just reject the login attempt and
  return back to the login windows. Instead, lightdm now just hangs. If
  one changes to a text console and back the lightdm login windows
  remains all light grey.
