Hi Tim,
Another library setting that may cause havoc for you down the road is
the option for patron barcode format. You should set a regex there to
identify patron barcode type so that things don't break for patrons if
they try to use their barcode vs. their username. For some reason in
Tpac, if that setting isn't set, when a patron's username has become
something other than their barcode, it will no longer recognize / use
their barcode as a login option but only use the username. (actually
behind the scenes, I think it's only using the username field, which is
usually always starts as the barcode)
Not sure if that's a Tpac bug exactly, or if maybe Evergreen should ship
out of the box with a default sample regex so that this doesn't happen.
Either way I should probably open a Launchpad bug ticket on the subject.
I can look up what regex we ended up with when I get to the office later
this morning.

Hi Tim,
If you set the library setting, "Allow multiple username changes"
to TRUE and the "lock username" setting to FALSE, does that work?
When I created a new patron record, the barcode was identical to
the username. With these settings, I was able to login to the
patron's account and change the barcode username to other
usernames multiple times.

I set the library setting "LOCK USERNAME" to false to allow users
to change their username in the PAC. It doesn't seem to have
done anything. Is this correct or is there another setting aI
should be looking at?
This is version 2.2.
