There is one already: https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/issues/2593
I may take a stab at it in the next days.

I was reading a bit about this (I manage a LDAP server, but I am far from a specialist) and the format is actually too flexible: Any UTF-8 encoding with up to 64 characters.
I suspect basic punctation marks would be enough. Though I could see a Windows based SSO system (AD) accepting spaces and maybe even that being a usual convention (just speculating here).
But _s and .s are probably very common across existing installations.
Let's start with that at first :) Do you have time to work on this or can create a tracking issue?
Thanks! Bjoern

I don't think there is any good reason. Public username's main purpose originally was to generate slugs for URLs so we left out "-". Shouldn't break anything to add it.

Does anyone know why we have this restriction? Can we change it?

Sorry, that was what I meant and explained myself poorly.
This is actually a very serious problem if one wants to integrate Galaxy in an existing SSO environment based on LDAP.

Actually it's Galaxy (not the LDAP integration) that doesn't allow underscores in usernames, in fact if you try to register a new user on e.g. usegalaxy.org and the username has an underscore, you'll get this error:
Public name must contain only lowercase letters, numbers and "-". It also has to be shorter than 255 characters but longer than 2.
