I don't think there is any good reason. Public username's main purpose originally was to generate slugs for URLs so we left out "-". Shouldn't break anything to add it. On Mon, Aug 8, 2016 at 12:24 PM, Björn Grüning wrote: > Does anyone know why we have this restriction? Can we change it? > > Am

Hi, A serious problem that I have found with Galaxy integration with LDAP is that it does not allow underscores in the user name, and that is very common with production LDAP servers. On 2016-08-08 09:01, Nicola Soranzo wrote: Hi Miuki, the file config/auth_conf.xml.sample contains examples
