I was reading a bit about this (I manage a LDAP server, but I am far
from a specialist) and the format is actually too flexible: Any UTF-8
encoding with up to 64 characters.
I suspect basic punctation marks would be enough. Though I could see a
Windows based SSO system (AD) accepting spaces and maybe even that being
a usual convention (just speculating here).
But _s and .s are probably very common across existing installations.

I don't think there is any good reason. Public username's main purpose
originally was to generate slugs for URLs so we left out "-".
Shouldn't break anything to add it.

Does anyone know why we have this restriction? Can we change it?

This is actually a very serious problem if one wants to integrate
Galaxy
in an existing SSO environment based on LDAP.

Actually it's Galaxy (not the LDAP integration) that doesn't allow
underscores in usernames, in fact if you try to register a new user
on
e.g. usegalaxy.org and the username has an underscore, you'll get
this
error:
Public name must contain only lowercase letters, numbers and "-". It
also has to be shorter than 255 characters but longer than 2.

Hi,
A serious problem that I have found with Galaxy integration with
LDAP
is that it does not allow underscores in the user name, and that is
very common with production LDAP servers.

Hi Miuki,
the file config/auth_conf.xml.sample contains examples and
documentation of possible values that you have to put in your
config/auth_conf.xml , unfortunately a lot depends on what
LDAP/Active
Directory server you are using and how it is configured. You may
need
to ask advice to the system administrators of your LDAP server. If
you
have specific questions/problems, feel free to ask here on the
mailing
list and/or on the IRC channel.
Cheers,

Hi,
I’m trying to configure a new instance of Galaxy and I want to
use
LDAP for user authentication. I have taken a look at this wiki
page:
https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Config/ExternalUserAuth
I followed the instructions and when I looked into the
auth_conf.xml file, I was unsure of what exactly Galaxy is
looking
for when trying to connect with LDAP. Are there specific options
that I must give it? May I ask how Galaxy uses LDAP to
authenticate
users?
Thank you,
Miuki Yip
