Cannot add user with . (dot) in username from UI

[mdaliejaz]

Description

A user whose username has '.' in it, for example, username.with.dot cannot be added to the go-server.

Current behaviour

When trying to add the user, error message is shown in the add user pop-up saying "No users selected."

Expected behaviour

The user should get added and success message should be shown.

Workaround

Check the option in User Management section of Server Configuration in the Admin tab saying "Allow users that exist in LDAP or in the password file to log into Go, even if they haven't been explicitly added to Go." When the user logs in he/she is automatically added to the users list. The option can then be un-checked if required.

Misc

• Go version: 13.4.1 and earlier
• OS: any
• Browser: any
