Title: using the underscore in user names
Post by: Walid Moghrabi on August 07, 2002, 01:16:16 PM

Hi,

I have around 100 users in my NT network and they all are called like this : user_xx (where xx is a number), all the security have been adjusted in every services for thos users and renaming them will be a very huge work and I really don't have time for that.

Is there a way to use the underscore for usernames on the SME ???
And why this f***g character is not allowed when "-" is ???

Thanks.

Walid,

You can create a user with an underscore, but not using the server manager interface. The parsing of the user name is done in the web interface script.

Read

and install the script. It allows you to create users with an _ in the user name.
However I do not know what affect if any it may have further down the track.
