Selected username format to be domain\sam but it imported domain-sam about adimport HOT 5 CLOSED

This is intentional. Usernames in Kentico support only characters that are valid in URLs. All invalid characters are replaced with a dash (or a character configurable in web.config).

Kudos to flexibility in Kentico. These options in web.config are amazing!

My question is how is the replacement of / with - supposed to work with claims based authentication? We have an ADFS server which is sending the samaccountname in the domain\sam format. After running ADImport tool, how will Kentico make a decision that eagle\jdoe the ADFS sends is the same guy as eagle-jdoe that ADImport created?

One solution would be to implement a custom (claims-based) authentication module, run the username through ValidationHelper.GetSafeUserName() method, and match it with user in the database.

But why are we supposed to go through the hassle in the first place :)
I think it would be easier if the domain name is stripped out from the claim altogether. And ADImport as well.

You can choose to import just SAM and omit the domain name. Isn't that what you need?
