SSSD unable to getent passwd for usernames with special characters.

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • We have some users who have specials characters "@" in their usernames.
  • We are unable to issue a getent passwd for them.
  • Is there something which needs to be configured in sssd to allow these users with "@" in there username to be able to login properly?

Environment
