Spaces in user names and/or passwords
If you allow spaces in user names and/or passwords, be aware of the following issues:
• Leading and trailing spaces in user names are dicult to detect on the screen or
in printed reports.
• The number of consecutive spaces in a user name is dicult to determine on the
screen or in printed reports.
Spaces in user names may cause confusion when a user searches for an audit record
associated with a user name. To nd a record associated with a user name, specify the
user name exactly, including leading, consecutive, and trailing spaces.
