Description

Tested with Redmine v0.9.4.

Under Settings > Authentication
Minimum password length: 1

AD User: test
AD Password: {space}

LDAP Authentication failed.

I've tested with manual User account by creating a new user with a password {space} which works fine. Doesn't seem to have this issue if we are using {space} as password. LDAP authentication with {space} and one character causes an issue.

However, if we change the following:

Under Settings > Authentication
Minimum password length: 2

AD User: test
AD Password: {space}1
LDAP Authentication success!

Password has to be accompanied with a character if space has is to be used. Curious, I tried a special character as password for the AD using '@'. It passes.

I usually use space as password for test users, so it's easy for them to login.

Conclusion: Issue with parsing {space} password with AD?
