Hi Eric,

On the other hand, XWiki Users are currently created in the XWiki space. Your users are not created in that space because of the dots. One solution I could see (though I'm definitely not on the tech side of things) would be to write some kind of filter / adapter that would take the dots out of user names before creating them (replacing eric.ter.haar with EricTerHaar) and using that username for XWiki.
Not sure this helps a lot, but good luck!
I found (in my travails over the weekend) this handy code in com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki: public String getConvertingUserNameType(XWikiContext context) { if (context.getWiki().getXWikiPreference("convertmail", context) != null && context.getWiki().getXWikiPreference("convertmail", context).length() > 0) return context.getWiki().getXWikiPreference("convertmail", "0", context); return context.getWiki().Param("xwiki.authentication.convertemail", "0"); } public String convertUsername(String username, XWikiContext context) { if (username == null) return null; if (getConvertingUserNameType(context).equals("1") && (username.indexOf("@") != -1)) { String id = "" + username.hashCode(); id = id.replaceAll("-", ""); if (username.length() > 1) { int i1 = username.indexOf('@'); id = "" + username.charAt(0) + username.substring(i1 + 1, i1 + 2) + username.charAt(username.length() - 1) + id; } return id; } else if (getConvertingUserNameType(context).equals("2")) return username.replaceAll("[\\.\\@]", "_"); else return username; } In theory, you could use this instead of rolling your own. Both of those are for converting email addresses.. but the second would replace either dots or @ with _... if the converting type is 1: strip the username from in front of the @ sign if the converting type is 2: just replace @ and . with _ at least, that's how I read the code.. convertUsername is already called by processLogin, checkLogin, getUserPage, inviteToGroup, and validateUser, so (in theory) you shouldn't even have to hack code to get this to work -- just set the right value in xwiki.cfg. -- 'Waste of a good apple' -Samwise Gamgee
