Hi Shavindri,
Thanks for pointing this out. This is because the length of the username is
defined at the UsernameJavaRegEx in user-mgt.xml [1], where as default we
have specified minimum of 3 characters and upto 30 [2].
I think we need to validate the username in the UI according the RegEx
provided at the user-mgt.xml [1].
As you can see in the UsernameJavaRegEx [2], those are the allowed special
characters valid for the username, and nothing is made mandatory.
[1] - <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/conf/user-mgt.xml
[2] - <Property
name="UsernameJavaRegEx">^[^~!#$;%^*+={}\\|\\\\<>,\'\"]{3,30}$</Property>
Thank you,
Vishanth
