[email protected] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #6 from [email protected] --- Making this non-optional could break a lot of third party use cases. If a wiki has a SSO with a forum or blog or whatever which allows EXAMPLE and Example to exist as separate users, which at best massively complicates SSO code with handling for clashes and determining which user to allow plus stops some users from signing into the wiki, and at worst could let users block eachother from the wiki by creating duplicate accounts and registering first due to SSO code with first come first served policies, or even open the door for taking admin credentials by duplicating an account if the SSO is custom by someone who does not know how to create the complex checks on usernames. Similar issue to lowercase first usernames in general really, but considerably more likely to come up, and ideally that would get fixed rather than added to. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
