Jason, At some point will you have a centralized authentication, such as LDAP? If so, would you want to use the email address as the network login? On the other hand, if this application will be exposed to the internet whereby people from many companies can login, then email addresses should work well. This is how many (most?) web sites authenticate users, by their email address. Stephen

We do not have a good central directory for authentication and no naming conventions to follow so we get to make up the standard for Remedy. Since the login name field in the User form has been expanded from 30 to 254 characters it seems like it is pretty feasible. I am thinking this would be especially helpful in diary fields when a person doesn't recognize the user they could easily email them. Has anybody experienced any issues or can think of any trouble with doing this? Maybe with one of the apps (HPD, CHG, AST, CMBD)?
