    Description

      If a create a user with a backslash in the name, for example 'thisisau\sername', clicking the name in the top-right of the header takes me to a 404 page, trying to get to https://server:8080/user/thisisau/sername/.

      If I replace the '/' in the URL username with '%5C' (encoded backslash) it successfully loads the user page.

            On OS X both forward slash and back slash work in user IDs, so this is probably specific to Windows.

            teilo Are you able to reproduce this issue?

            Sorry, got the version number wrong - I've just updated it. The Jenkins installer was downloaded earlier today so I assume it's the latest stable version. Thanks

            I'm sure this is a dupe of something... or something changed (the original bug and got replaced by this)

            The dupe is JENKINS-33304 - but that has now been closed and so was probably an incomplete fix.

            OK so likely a dupe of JENKINS-32623 which daniel has fixed and should be in the next LTS.
