ID 600500 - LDAP util does not work with a space in the username or password fields

Problem summary
LDAP util does not work with a space in the username or password fields
 
Customer reported version
flix_7.1.1
 
Customer reported platform
rocky9
 
Steps to reproduce
 
1)Set up Flix to work with an LDAP server

2)Set the field the user logs with and/or the password to have a space character in it

3)Try to use the ldap-util with that username and/or password
 
Expected behaviour
The user should be able to log in
 
Actual behaviour
ldap-util eats whatever is before the space character and the first letter after
 
This was tested with an account called Flix Test
To escape the space characther, the following methods were tested:
Flix Test
'Flix Test'
'''Flix Test'''
"Flix Test"
Flix\ Test
 
Every time the result from ldap-util was the same, the username was "est". This was tested with other usernames/passwords, but the outcome was always the same. 
 
Workaround
Use the Flix client to log in (the space characters work properly for both a username and password there) and check the server log for the output.
