    Description

      When using SSL one often wants to use the x509 Common name et.al. This results in usernames of the 
form

/C=US/ST=Washington DC/L=Washington DC/O=Intel-5, PO12987/OU=NEMA Certificate Authority/
CN=ca.asemantics.com/emailAddress=certmaster@asemantics.com.. etc

which contain spaces and comma's (actually it is UTF8 in my case - but lets solve this for US ASCII first). 
Ideally one would like to be able to include these in the [group] section or as general users. 

However encapsulating these with a " or ' does not seem to keep the string protected making it rather 
hard to use Client Certs.

Dw.
