VPN: Must not use space in VPN name

[gilles.ebox@…]

Whilst trying to download my certificates for my VPN clients (via VPN->Servers->Download client bundle) I got the following error message (see below).

I suspect the current script does not like VPNs that have been labeled with a name that contains a space (I suspect the easy workaround will be to avoid using space when labeling the VPN).

A really nasty bug has occurred

Exception

In fact, using a space in the VPN name not only causes issues with the bundle tool, but it also stops the whole VPN from working properly. So it definitively would be an idea to forbid the use of space in the GUI or add a comment warning the user not to use a space...

Note: Test environment is Ubuntu 10.04 using ebox 1.5

The bug was fixed in eBox 1.5.1, do you have latest 1.5 packages available using this sources list?:

 deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ebox/1.5/ubuntu lucid main

Report us back if there are any problem with server's names with spaces.
