OpenVPN + Ldap broken in 21.02-RELEASE-p1?

[LucSuryo]

We recently upgraded to 21.02-RELEASE-p1 (AWS)
And since we see an odd behavior that prevent user to login

setup
OpenLDAP on the LAN

tested

1. System -> User Manager -> Settings

• Authentication Servers : OK
• Settings : OK

2. Diagnostics -> Authentication -> Authentication Server -> Local Database

• user in local backend database and LDAP : OK
• user only in LDAP : ERROR : which is correct

3. Diagnostics -> Authentication -> Authentication Server -> LDAP-SERVER

• user in local backend database and LDAP : OK
• user only in LDAP : OK

Setup OpenVPN

1. Backend for authentication -> Local database : work as design
   LDAP users can not login

2. Backend for authentication -> Local database + LDAP : ERROR
   except if the user is in the admins group (there is an admins group in LDAP)

we did not had this behavior before the upgrade, does anyone has some idea pointers? been pulling my hair for 2 days now....

Do i need to create a vpn group (remote) in pfense and assign it certain privilege ? and if so which ??

Thanks

@lucsuryo

answering my own problem...

the username was firstname.lastname : so there is a dot in between
removing the dot and it works! kinda annoying as this is the company standard

anyone is aware of this limitation ?
