Other characters in the User ID

[chexhcky]

Our LAN IDs are in the format FIRSTNAME.LASTNAME. I tried to create similar IDs in Cacti and was given error information (MySQL).

It'd be nice to have other acceptable UserID characters allowed.

Thanks

I would also like to be able to use other characters in the username field.
I have successfully got Cacti to LDAP authenticate to my AD LDAP and the username that appears in Cacti after first logon is firstname.surname

If I try and edit this user, and save. It rejects the save due to the . in the username.

Regards,
Anthony

Find the following line in user_admin.php (it is in form_save function):

Code: Select all

$save["username"] = form_input_validate($_POST["username"], "username", "^[A-Za-z_0-9]+$", false, 3);

and change it to:

Code: Select all

$save["username"] = form_input_validate($_POST["username"], "username", "^[A-Za-z_0-9\.]+$", false, 3);

Thanks Bulek.

That has done the job.
