’General’ tab
User name (*)
This is the name, by which the user logs into the system. Specifying a user name is obligatory for
any user; the name has to begin with a letter which has to be followed by: letters a-z in lower case,
numerals 0-9, dots, hyphens, or underlines. Only the first letter may be an uppercase letter.
Attention:
In order to ensure compatibility to non-UCS systems, Univention Directory Manager prevents the
creation of users which are only distinguished from each other by upper and lower case letters. Thus,
if the user name ’smith’ already exists, then the user name ’Smith’ cannot be created.
