Relax username requirements or consider using email addresses instead #906
Labels
Enhancement:1:Minor
A new feature or improvement that can be implemented in less than 3 days.
What is driving the requirement that "The username must contain only lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens/underscores."?
With Shibboleth authentication, the best practice username would be a scoped attribute, eg. user@institution-scope (usually this is just an email address).
Are there any known dependencies that will break if we loosen the username validation?
