Description

Alvin pointed this out in KNB help email.

I just found a bug in Metacat that may prevent Morpho to refresh the user list when adding or updating access list.
The problem is that the XML generated by action `/metacat?action=getprincipals` can be invalid because the values from LDAP entries may contain XML-reserved characters, which are not sanitized in the XML output.
