Description

I want to create a new admin-user with a dot in it (like bernd.wilke). The creation seems to work, but a following BE_login failed.
After creating another adminuser (admin) I was able to login into the BE and there I found an admin-user berndwilke (without the dot).
Umlauts, which are usual in names, are removed also.

At least there should be a BIG warning if characters are removed at creation like:
<span style:"color:red; font-size:150%">username changed from ... to ...</span>

better: remove only a few characters, which can confuse databases: '"<>,;:?*%

searching for the modification leads me to class.tx_install.php line 3732 (case 'adminUser':), where a ereg_replace() removes all but [:al num:]_-

(issue imported from #M3242)

This is true for all kinds of users. But in the BE the auto-conversion is a bit more easy to see in the user list.

The easiest solution is a warning next to the input fields that all "funny" characters except a-z and 0-9 are removed.

This relates to http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=5630 and was fix there.
Solution:
  • allow the dot in name
ToDo here:
  • implement a check if entered string was ok
  • display a warning if something went wrong

Tested with 6.0:

Username: ich<>bla
Password: ölö

Username: ich.bla
Password: ölö

User was created as admin with that name and login was possible.
