Spaces in Username field?

RT Users
1

Hi *,

Just a quick question: is it possible have spaces in ‘Username’ field of user
properties? I’d like it in order to have full legitimate names in all
lists/dropdowns in RT. I’m using external auth, matching on Gecos field, so
authorization itself should work smoothly. So far, I’ve been testing it on
small instance of RT (two users :slight_smile: but I’d love to hear from developers
whether there’s some ‘silent assertion’ that space is never a part of user
username…

Regards,

KT.

From what I have seen of the code it should work. But you could
also customize RT to make the various user dropdowns more verbose.

The first option should be easier for a non-developer.
