‘Forgotton password’ procedure does not work when the mail attribute, used as username, contains a '.' and a '+' in the local part

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. PWM configuration: Set LDAP naming attribute to 'mail' and Username Search 
filter to '(mail=%USERNAME%)
2. Click 'Forgotten password' and enter a mail address with a '.' and a '+' in 
the local part of the email address.

- observed behaviour: PWM does not do a directory search, but returns 
immediately with 5006 ERROR_RESPONSES_NORESPONSES 
PWM log:

ERROR_RESPONSES_NORESPONSES fields: [Email Address] 

PWM does not even attempt to contact the LDAP server.


- expected behaviour : PWM searches user in LDAP directory (demonstrated below 
by replacing the ‘.’ with an ‘_’.
