[galaxy-dev] LDAP and valid username

Hi,

I configure authentication with the LDAP (Active Directory) of my compagny. But the username (sAMAccoutName) contains a dot (eg : e.hirchaud). And that was a problem because the dot is not allow in galaxy username and auto-registration fails because of that.

For testing I change the regex in "security/validate_user_input.py" and authorize character dot and it's work !

I know its not a good practice to change core code so I want to know if they are known "risks" or sides effects if I keep this change and if you have a best solution ?

Thanks!

Edouard
