In the SAS Fraud Management web application, you can create two users where the User Name differs only by leading or trailing blank characters. When you run batch job 3 to create the users in SAS^® Metadata Repository, spaces are trimmed from the User Name field so that multiple users are not created. When the duplicate User Name processes, job 3 reports the following warning and error:

WARNING: user_name contains a blank. USER_NAME=testacct

ERROR: A Person named testuser already exists in this server

SAS Fraud Management should trim spaces before saving the User Name so that duplicates cannot be created. The users created in SAS Metadata Repository should exactly match what you create in the web application.

There is no workaround for this issue.
