Description

Problem Statement : Ambari Views Doesnt work properly When User Logs In from KNOX and the username has spaces and Camel Case Letters

Affected Views :

Filesview : login as Akhil S Naik, filesview will consider the user as akhil s naik only due to which user home directory wont be correct shown

Yarn Capacity Scheduler : Even though user has permission , Yarn Capacity Scheduler will complain there is no permission

Issue reproduction :

configure Knox in ambari and LDAP authentication in KNOX

Create a user 'Akhil S Naik'

Login as 'Akhil S Naik' in knox, ambari will treat the username as akhil s naik (all lower case)

and due to this even if home directory exists in /user folder in HDFS the home directory icon wont be displayed
