Re: [galaxy-dev] User Name "not set" with external LDAP authentication

Thanks Nate for the info. I would like to add though that this might not work for many organizations. Many places have for example:

lhermida as username leandro.hermida@domain.org as the email address

This is okay, the username does not need to match the email address. If it's desired to use the longer version, a user can always change it later. I committed a minor fix in 5483:4933de88cdb0 that will convert the username to lowercase and replace any invalid characters (anything other than lowercase letters, numbers, and the dash character) with a dash when the username is automatically created upon first access by a new user. --nate
