Usernames in MWARE IAM¶
Selecting a good username is important as it is a prime link to your identity. Hence, make sure to adhere to the following best practices when creating usernames.
Best practices for username creation¶
- A username should be easy to remember and difficult to guess.
 - Make sure the username does not give any hints to guess your password.
 - It is better to avoid using combinations of special characters such as 
',",,,.,:, and;as they may be difficult to distinguish when being read. 
Restricted special characters in usernames¶
The following is a list of characters that have been reserved for other purposes. These characters should not used in usernames except for the intended purpose.
| Character | Reserved Purpose | 
|---|---|
@ | 
For specifying the tenant to which the user belongs | 
/ | 
For specifying the userstore which holds the user's data | 
Unsupported special characters in usernames
Note that the use of special characters \, !, (, ), *, ~, <, >, and whitespaces is
 not supported in this version of MWARE IAM.
