O365 > G Suite + Accents

[Michael]

Hi all,

 

Was wondering if anyone else has observed this behaviour -

 

Users in AD are synchronised to Azure, then from Azure to G Suite.

 

Users can authenticate in Windows and Office 365 without any issue.

 

If said user then tries to authenticate into G Suite, it won't authenticate the user.

 

Sign in as Google Admin and the user's there (as expected), with the accent in their first or last name (such as é)

 

==============

 

If I then return to AD and remove the accent from their first or last name, wait for it to all synchronise, magically the account then authenticates in G Suite.

 

Not sure why this would be, as the accent's not in there username or email address, only their first or last name (which should have no bearing).

 

Any ideas, unless it's a bug?
