I would really appreciate some help with this.

At the very least, can anybody verify that they are using user names that contain the dot/period character ('.') in them with Alfresco 3.3?

For example, are you able to use accounts with user names such as 'john.doe' or 'scott.smith' ?

I'm absolutely certain that this is not really a problem with LDAP per se, but rather with the way Alfresco Surf encodes URLs. It appears that Alfresco Surf truncates the username at the dot, so if you try to access the home page of 'john.doe' you actually end up hitting the page for user 'john' which does not exist.

I will wait another few days to see if there are any replies and then open a bug report.
