[gatein-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (GTNPORTAL-2847) GroupManagement is not using UserConfigurableValidator for validating usernames

GroupManagement is not using UserConfigurableValidator for validating usernames ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: GTNPORTAL-2847 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/GTNPORTAL-2847 Project: GateIn Portal Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Affects Versions: 3.5.0.Final Reporter: Marek Posolda Assignee: Marek Posolda Fix For: 3.6.0.Final Attachments: validation-screenshot.png Steps to reproduce: 1) I want custom validation for username fields. So I added this to GATEIN_HOME/standalone/configuration/gatein/configuration.properties: gatein.validators.username.regexp=^[A-Za-z0-9._%+-]+$ gatein.validators.username.format.message=Username could contains only lowercase or uppercase letters, numbers, dots and percentage characters 2) Start GateIn 3) Login as root and create user "John_1_Wood" in "New Staff" 4) Now I want to add this user to group "/platform/guests". But it's not possible because of validations. (See attached screenshot) There are two issues here: a) GroupManagement is not using UserConfigurableValidator, so it treats "John_1_Wood" as invalid username. But it should permit it. b) The error message is invalid. It should use message for format configured by user (same message like the one used on New Staff page). So the message should be: The field "User Name" must match the format "Username could contains only lowercase or uppercase letters, numbers, dots and percentage characters".
