12.3.3 Usernames

Enter a username from one to 32 characters. The first character must be alphabetical (case insensitive, [A-Z a-z]); numeric characters are not allowed as the first character.

The username can only contain the following characters:

•Alphanumeric A-z 0-9. Unicode usernames are supported with CIFS logins, but not FTP or web configurator logins.

•Spaces

•_ [underscores]

•. [periods]

•- [dashes]

Other limitations on usernames are:

•All leading and trailing spaces are removed automatically.

•Multiple spaces within names are converted to a single space.

•Usernames are case insensitive. The username cannot be the same (no matter the letter case) as an existing user. For example, if a user exists with the name 'BOB', you cannot create a user named 'bob'. If you enter a user 'bob' but use 'BOB' when connecting via CIFS or FTP, it will use the account settings used for 'bob'.

•The username cannot be the same as a system username such as ANONYMOUS-FTPnor be the same as an existing user. Other reserved usernames that are not allowed are:

•bin

•daemon

•ftp

•anonymous-ftp
