Permissable Usernames and Passwords

Openfire Openfire Dev
1

I’'ve noticed that (when using Wildfire with LDAP) the username and passwords that are allowed are less than those supported by Active Directory.

For example, usernames containing a ‘’-’’ cannot be used, nor can passwords containing ‘‘£’’ and ‘’#’’.

Is this behavior expected and documented. I’'d really appreciate it if someone could point me in the direction of a document which explains what is currently allowed so I can provide users with an explanation of what will and will not work (or even better, future support for all Windows and Passwords!)

Hi Darren,

JM-830 describes a similar problem for usernames, so it’'s a more or less known bug. I just added the characters you did mention to this issue. It should be resolved in 23 days with Wildfire 3.2.0 but I expect that the release will be delayed and a few features will be rescheduled for Wildfire 3.2.x.
