General

• [FLEXDEPLOY-3011] - Specific attributes of Endpoint are trimmed of leading and trailing white space - Endpoint Name, Endpoint Address, Port, Base Directory, JDK Home, User Name, Private Key File, Run As (sudo), Group, and Subgroup etc. i.e. if user enters value with leading or trailing space, then value is trimmed.
