The following table describes the labels in this screen.
9.3.1 Usernames
Enter a username from one to 32 characters. The first character must be alphabetical (case
insensitive, [A-Z a-z]); numeric characters are not allowed as the first character.
The username can only contain the following characters:
• Alphanumeric A-z 0-9. Unicode usernames are supported with CIFS logins, but not FTP
or web configurator logins.
• Spaces
• _ [underscores]
•. [periods]
• - [dashes]
Other limitations on usernames are:
• All leading and trailing spaces are removed automatically.
• Multiple spaces within names are converted to a single space.
• Usernames are case insensitive. The username cannot be the same (no matter the letter
case) as an existing user. For example, if a user exists with the name 'BOB', you cannot
create a user named 'bob'. If you enter a user 'bob' but use 'BOB' when connecting via
CIFS or FTP, it will use the account settings used for 'bob'.
• The username cannot be the same as a system username such as ANONYMOUS_CIFS,
ANONYMOUS_FTP, EVERYONE nor be the same as an existing user. Other reserved
usernames that are not allowed are:
•bin
•daemon
•ftp
• anonymous-ftp
• nobody
•root
