Invitees with more than one first and or last name

[bwesaala]

I have an issue when making external invitations. I work in an international organization and it is common to find a situation where an invitee to an Alfresco Share site has more than one first and or last name. For example my own name is Brian Stephen Wesaala, so I may have 'Brian Stephen' as my first name and 'Wesaala' as my last name. However, if I fill this out in the external invitations form the link sent to the invitee to access the share site is broken because of the space between Brian and Stephen. The link sent is:

http://<ourserver>:8080/share/page/accept-invite?inviteId=jbpm$7&inviteeUserName=brian

as opposed to, I presume:

http://<ourserver>:8080/share/page/accept-invite?inviteId=jbpm$7&inviteeUserName=brian_stephen_wesaala

The invitee is therefore unable to access the share site through the link!

Sounds like a bug - please raise the issue in JIRA.

Thanks,

The entire link is emailed out, but there is a space in it (which means that most mail programs will probably not recognize the second part as a part of the link).

However, the link won't work even if it's included as a whole, with the space, but the same seems to go for any special sign, for instance any signs with umlaut (like ä or ö).

I have only done some where quick testing on this, so there might be some other problem in my specific setup, but I figured it might be interesting to know.
