Description Thomas Hauser 2014-08-15 20:50:51 UTC
Description of problem:
The add-user.sh script has been updated in EAP. The installer validation is no longer consistent with the restrictions of add-user.sh.

In particular, the add-user.sh allows the following special characters in the username: , . / = @ \ 

While the installer does not. 

After this inconsistency is fixed, a new check to ensure that the username != password must be introduced.


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attempt to create a user named hi@hi

Actual results:
Installation cannot continue with such a user name.

Expected results:
Installation proceeds.

Comment 2 Ahmed Abu Lawi 2014-08-20 21:00:01 UTC
I modified the regular expression to allow the new characters, , . / = @ \. Previously the regular expression validator was allowing usernames to contain '_', as well but this has since been changed.

In addition a new validator is used to prevent the password and username from matching.
