Description of problem:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Satellite/6.1/html/User_Guide/sect-Red_Hat_Satellite-User_Guide-User_Groups.html#sect-Red_Hat_Satellite-User_Guide-Configuring_External_User_Groups

Procedure 16.6. To Configure an External User Group:

Followed the steps to configure external usergroup mapping with a role in Satellite 6.1 doesn't work

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite 6.1.2

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an external group in active directory and add some users to the group
2. Create a usergroup

Administer --> User Groups ---> Create a new group ---> In the role tab select any role ex. "Admin" --> In the external groups tab ---> specify the group name exactly similar to one in AD.

3. Login with external user which is a member of AD group linked. which fails with permission denied as it is not assigned to any groups (i.e. Anonymous)

Actual results:
Usergroup authentication doesn't honor the config specified

Expected results:
user group auth should work as expected. Also in most organizations AD Groups are created with white spaces, which should also work.

Ex: G USR - ROL eComm SSG Read-Only
