Hi All, Gerri remembers correctly. The 8 character name is the one that gets put into the loginid for "kXR_login”. The entity structure name is, in fact, the full distinguished name. Unless someone tells me otherwise in the next couple of hours, I will merge in 495 (which should include Brian’s fix) and then Fabrizion will have to generate a new pull request with the login-name fix.

If that is the case, then I am not sure the code does that: the buffer is 64 in length and the space is not removed. Do I remember wrongly?
