Hi, The pattern <domain>/<user name> is already taken for the multiple userstores scenario. Actually we have no reason to stick into the <user -email> @<tenant domain> pattern. In any code in the platform, we must use the MultitenantUtils to get the tenant domain from the user name, get the tenant aware username etc. Therefore we can let the pattern configurable (regex) in the Carbon XML, read that config from MultitenantUtils and return the values appropriately. Probably this is something we can do for the next Kernel release.
