Hi Eric,
no idea about how to fix it, but I think this is due to the fact that internal links in XWiki take the following form: [SpaceName.PageName].
That is, the 2 elements are separated by a dot in the link. Thus when clikcing on such a link it creates the PageName page in the SpaceName page, which is apparently happening in your case.
On the other hand, XWiki Users are currently created in the XWiki space. Your users are not created in that space because of the dots. One solution I could see (though I'm definitely not on the tech side of things) would be to write some kind of filter / adapter that would take the dots out of user names before creating them (replacing
eric.ter.haar with EricTerHaar) and using that username for XWiki.
Not sure this helps a lot, but good luck!

I am currently evaluating XWiki for deployment in my company. So far everything
looks great, but I ran into a blocking issue. I have setup XWiki to authenticate
with LDAP, which is a requirement for us. The user names provided by our LDAP
server all have dots in them, like 'eric.ter.haar'. XWiki seems to have a
problem with this. When login in for the first time it creates a new user name
that is equal to the part after the last dot, e.g., 'haar'. And it creates a
space with the other part, like 'eric.ter'. The next login fails but without any
notice.
Does anyone know how to get around this?
Thanks,
Eric
