Hello all,
It would be very nice if special characters are allowed in the username. This will enable administrators to create username based on the email ids and it will ensure uniqueness. In our setup we use LDAP as the authentication backend and the uid is the form firstname.lastname@domain.tld. So it would be nice to allow '@' , '.' and '-' in the username field.
P.S : In the versions prior to 5.0.2 this feature was enabled. I think this was disabled in 5.0.3

I have fixed this issue:
Edit the file include/js/general.js (vtiger-5.0.3)
add another condition to the "function valid()" like this c == '@'. The modified function would look like this:
Code:
function valid(c,type)
{
    if(type == 'name')
    {
        return (((c >= 'a') && (c <= 'z')) ||((c >= 'A') && (c <= 'Z')) ||((c >= '0') && (c <= '9')) || (c == '.') || (c == '_') || (c == '-') || (c == '@') );
    }
    else if(type == 'namespace')
    {
        return (((c >= 'a') && (c <= 'z')) ||((c >= 'A') && (c <= 'Z')) ||((c >= '0') && (c <= '9')) || (c == '.')||(c==' ') || (c == '_') || (c == '-') );
    }
}


Now I can add email id as username.
