In the New Credentials dialog, if a user puts a space before or after the
Username (most likely by mistake or because of a cut-and-paste), the
Username will be considered invalid:
Krb5: Client not found in Kerberos database
Would it be possible to pre-validate the Username to make sure it doesn't
begin/end with spaces? Then either explicitly say the Username shouldn't
begin/end with spaces or just silently strip them.
Along the same lines, if the Realm begins/ends with a space the user will
get the following message:
Krb5: Cannot resolve network address for KDC in requested realm
Same thing here... report an error or strip the leading/trailing spaces.
