> The problem is not at LDAP authenticator level but more generally in XWiki which does not support "." in documents name.
> As it will be too difficult to correct soon on XWiki and it's really needed feature, I propose to add a workaround in LDAP : replace "." with something else like "_" or nothing when creating/updating the XWiki user from LDAP. The only problem here is that login and user name will be different but it's not big issue in my point of view.
