Hi Roland,

thank you for the information. Can you give me a hint where to find that part 
in the code to change it? In our case it would fully suffice to just cut the 
string  in the "User name" field to a length of 8 characters. I guess this is 
rather easy to implement for us hardcoded. Of course we have to check this 
after every update in the future.
Is it possible to add this as a future feature request?

Thanks & Br,
Manuel

it is not possible to configure the user name length limit inside LAM.

They only possibility would be to patch the code. You can also use e.g.
OpenLDAP Constraints overlay to enforce this server side.
