Isilon local user and group name restrictions

Hello,

When I create a user or a group using the isi auth command, what is the restriction of the name I can use?  Specifically, is there a limit to the number of characters, case-sensitivity etc?

I suppose the password limited is defined by the a local password policy setting, and is case-sensitive, what other limitation should I be aware of?

I couldn't find a clear answer from both CLI admin guide and security configuration guide. Where I can look if these are documented somewhere?

Hello Jenny,

Sorry to say but there is no document for the same however you cna try out options below.

Command requires at least one argument.

Usage:

        [--email ]

        [--gecos ]

I received word that we plan to add those details to our guides when they are updated with our next OneFS version.  In the meantime, you will find that the allowed and disallowed characters, etc., are fairly conventional and similar to Microsoft.
