Greetings,

I'm trying to use the import user feature in OpenOLAT. I am encountering difficulties with some usernames I am importing. Mostly, the usernames seem to meet OpenOLAT rules for username and password. However, I have users like the following that don't. I get the following error:

EXAMPLE (the email address is fictitious):

jeff underwood 34m32687dl3xjljv en jeff underwood jeffun...@email.com none 629 jeffun...@email.com

I receive this error:

Error in line 1: the user name "jeff underwood" does not follow OLAT conventions. Please change that user name.

For the sake of testing I took the space out of the "jeff underwood". Of course the import proceeded without issue

I do understand it is the space in the username is causing the error. However, If I take out the space the user will not be able to login using the LDAP login. I tried double/single quotes around the username allow the import to proceed but that did not work.

Question: can I change the rules for the username to allow the import of those users with usernames similar to the one above? Or is there something I need to enclose the username in to allow it to proceed?

Thank you for your time.

regards,

Jeff Underwood

Hi Jeff

In file

/src/main/java/org/olat/user/_spring/userContext.xml

(or in class if you have it already compiled)

replace Line 281:

<bean id="org.olat.user.UserNameAndPasswordSyntaxChecker" class="org.olat.user.UserNameAndPasswordSyntaxCheckerWithEmail" />

with something like this:

<bean id="org.olat.user.UserNameAndPasswordSyntaxChecker" class="org.olat.user.UserNameAndPasswordSyntaxCheckerWithRegexp“>

	<property name=„passwordRegExp" value="YOURFAVORITE-REGULAR-EXPRESSION"/>
	<property name=„usernameRegExp" value="YOURFAVORITE-REGULAR-EXPRESSION"/>

</bean>

Cheers

Florian
