Whitespace in user folder

Several old users in our domain have whitespaces like "name surname" in their sAMAccountName. When one of these users is logging in to OwnCloud, the attribute is normalized (substitutes whitespaces with underscores) in the database, but the user folder on my server is named with the whitespace.

Steps to reproduce
1. Create AD user with whitespace in sAMAccountName
2. Log in to OwnCloud
3. Check file path on server

Expected behaviour
filepath should be normalized and must not contain whitespaces

Actual behaviour
filepath has whitespaces in it

The following list covers which files have failed the integrity check. Please read
the previous linked documentation to learn more about the errors and how to fix
them.

    [Application to check] => Array
        (
            [EXCEPTION] => Array
                (
                    [class] => Exception
                    [message] => App not found
                )
        )

Furthermore:

Could someone link the code where oC determines the users file path and creates it? I rgrepped core but didnt find the lines of code.

Thank you!
