Jan Lehnardt commented on COUCHDB-1072:
---------------------------------------
+1 on disallowing colons in usernames for consistency. Are there other
characters where we don't have parity between the different login mechanisms?
> Having a : in the "name" property in a _users document makes the GET
> /_session won't work

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1072
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Johnny Weng Luu
> Assignee: Filipe Manana
> Priority: Critical
>
> I have created multiple user documents in the _users database with the
> following in the "name" property:
> "[email protected]"
> "mammamia"
> "mamma/mia"
> "mamma:mia"
> I logged in each one of them (the password is the same for all of them) and
> then I tried to get the current user session with GET /_session with cookie
> auth.
> It worked for the first 3 documents but not for the 4th one.
> Conclusion: If I have a : in the "name" it won't work.
> Would be good to either fix that so every character works or emitting an
> error message if you save a document with invalid characters like the ":".
> Hope this will be taken care of! Took me quite some time to figure out!
