Hi all,
While I was writing test cases for my upcoming website, I noticed I that the contrib.auth module will happily make a user called Mike and user called mike and treat them as two separate users. Are there reasons for this? I patched my installation of django so that usernames were not case sensitive. My reasoning was that someone could register as Neil (lowercase L at the end) and build up a reputation on the site. Then someone could register as NeiI (uppercase i at the end) and impersonate the first user, as in many fonts the glyphs for lowercase L and uppercase i are identical. Also, giving users a slug using the standard django slugify becomes problematic if you have Neil and neil. Which one does the slug "neil" refer to? Cheers, MikeH --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
