When ejabberd enumerates

When ejabberd enumerates members of some of your groups, it tries to apply the mask
"cn=%u,ou=people,o=sevenseas,dc=example,dc=com"
to values like this:
"cn=John Hallett,ou=people,o=sevenSeas,dc=example,dc=com"
If this succeed, the result would be "John Hallett". Then it would try to combine this string with server id to form proper jid:
"John Hallett@example.com"
You see that this is not a valid jid. Next, the server would try to check the jid for existance, and this would naturally fail. But if it would not, then what would be the jid of the resulting contact?
But the primary match will fail itself, as it doesn't match character runs that contain spaces.

To summarize, you cannot do this if you use the vanilla module. You may find this useful.
