Subject: [THIN] CAG Authentication problem when username contains a period.

 

When the CAG is upgraded to the latest version 4.5.6, actually any version of 4.5, then there is an issue when the username contains a period. The issue is that CAG passes the username through to the domain controller modified. The modification that it makes is that is adds the domain in place of the period.  E.g. user name = test.user is passed through as testDOMAINuser. The result of this is that pass through to web interface does not work. The user has to enter their user, domain and password at the web interface.

 

Workaround: Keep the CAG on 4.2.
