            Bug ID: 63026
           Summary: JNDIRealm fails to authenticate user with 2 trailing
                    spaces CN
           Product: Tomcat 8
           Version: 8.0.33
          Hardware: PC
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: Catalina
          Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
          Reporter: david.anuszew...@cerner.com
  Target Milestone: ----

Using JNDIRealm to authenticate users against Microsoft Active Directory fails
if the AD user object has 2 trailing spaces in it's cn.  Realm is configured
with adCompat="true" and userSearch="(sAMAccountName={0})".  

Debugging through the code the getUserBySearch() method ldap search returns a
result with only the last space escaped, but the method getDistinquishedName()
returns a dn with both spaces escaped.  In this scenario the bindAsUser()
method will return false resulting in an authentication failure.  If I modify
the dn returned from getDistinquishedName() to only escape the last space in
the cn the bindAsUser() method will return true and the authentication will be
successful.
