Is it possible to change length of login field?

Added by Stefan Grad over 12 years ago

We are using the LDAP authentication functionality. Here some User IDs are longer than 30 characters (yes, due to internal naming standards this can occur - and we can not change the user name policy). In Redmine standard the field is limited to 30 characters. Is there a possibility to change this limitation?

If you can access the CSS you can add space/length to the field. <spam link removed by Mischa The Evil>

The length of the html field is not the problem. Indeed, you can enter more than 30 characters, but you will get an error message if you do so. The message says "Login is too long (maximum is 30 characters)". This check seems to be performed by the application, so I am wondering if there is any way to modify this setting.

See issue #2719 which deals with this subject and provides a patch...
