Email Address as Username.

[zimage]

I have taken an old patch that allows cacti to use apache's mod_securid and I
tweaked it to work with mod_auth_kerb. One modification I had to make to the
cacti source that wasn't in the original patch was to allow '@' and '.'
characters in usernames. I'd like to request this as a feature. Could cacti
officially support email addresses as userids in cacti?

If you are running 0.8.6h, alter the following line (158) in the user_admin.php file from:

Code: Select all

$save["username"] = form_input_validate($_POST["username"], "username", "^[A-Za-z0-9\._\-]+$", false, 3);

to

Code: Select all

$save["username"] = form_input_validate($_POST["username"], "username", "^[A-Za-z0-9\._\-\@]+$", false, 3);

and that will allow "@" in the usernames.

Yup. I already made this change to my code as I stated above. What I was wondering is if this could officially be supported in future releases.

I don't see why not..
