Plus sign in usernames - Are there any issues to be aware of?
We're currently trying to pin down the cause of users with plus signs in their user-names not being able to login. Example user-name: john.smith+group1@emailemail.com Are there any known issues with this and FreeRADIUS? Is the plus sign a "not-safe" character? -- IMPORTANT MESSAGE Internet communications are not secure, and therefore Unovation Inc. does not accept legal responsibility for the contents of this message.

I guess you could do something like the following? grep -r "safe_char" /path/to/your/raddb/* or if it does happen to be included (it's not here) then post the complete failed debug output so we've got some sort of clue about your setup/config and what might be wrong. Safe characters really depends on which modules you are using; it's mostly for sql. Matthew -- Matthew Newton, Ph.D. <mcn4@le.ac.uk> Systems Specialist, Infrastructure Services, I.T.

Thanks for that Matthew, I will grab that information soon. Have you ever encountered any issue logging in with a user-name that has a plus sign in it? On Fri, May 29, 2015 at 12:36 PM, Matthew Newton <mcn4@leicester.ac.uk> wrote:
