One for Friday afternoon (well it is here!)...
Does anyone know of any character restrictions in the login name field
(ID 101)?
(ARS 6.0.1 patch 1368, W2K server, SQL Server 2000)
In the 9 or so years we've been running AR System we have been using
real names for login so that we can easily see who is doing what through
work logs. We have a user with the surname "O'Toole" (note the
apostrophe). The user has no problems signing in over the past 18
months. I have some Computed Groups and I was testing adding some users
to the definition and if I try this particular user the group definition
can not be saved. In computed group definitions Groups are encased in
double quotes (") and Users are encased in single quotes ('). This
falls apart when the user has a single quote in their login name. I have
checked the manuals and there is no mention of any restrictions on field
101. I have just tried to use the KnowledgeBase but it doesn't appear
to be working at the moment!
Any thoughts chaps & chapesses?
Thanks,
Ian
