domain_username instead of web[WEBID]_username

Example: domain.com has a user james

currently i have the option of web1_whateveriwant

Can I change the global option to be domain_whateveriwant

currently under Management->system config->settings->ISP config tab it is:
web[WEBID]_

I dont know the string, but could it be something along the lines of:
[domain]_

??

or what are the arguements allowed here?

 

Not really, that is something that i would also like to see in ISPconfig, instead of static prefixes, you would have domain name prefixes where its possible, like mysql and so on..

You can put whatever you want instead of 'web'[WEBID]_ but it will always be the same for all users..

Your prefix + [WEBID]

No other way..

 

Hey, i didn't know that..

[domain] = users domain.tld not the main/server domain?
[host] = hostname?

what happens, if i'm using [webid] currently and i change it to [domain]? Will everything be changed or will those accounts that have [webid] die as in not working anymore?

 

This does not seem to work for the User Prefix as indicated. I set User Prefix to '[domain]_'. When adding a user/email the system returns an error: "Field: Username The user name has to contain a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 32 letters or figures and has to begin with a letter." The domain I am working with plus '_' plus the username itself is not >32 chars, so this must be an error due to using [domain].

Thoughts?

I tried this on an existing server that is running. I changed it to [domain]_

I made a domain called testdomain.com

and added a user. It gave me a user of testdomain.com_jimmybobusername and it let me.

I dont know what you were putting for the username part...

 

'agbert.net' is the domain and andrewg is the username. Which should net me agbert.net_andrewg.

Attached is the screen shot for the add user form. Maybe something else is wrong because I would expect agbert.org_ to appear not [domain]_.

Andrew...

 

make sure in your settings its set the [DOMAIN]_ not [domain]_

I just tried it again and this is what I am seeing.

 

Yup, that did it!

Thank You!

 

wow - all that seems too complecated for me..

I took it away completely and have the user simply make a name in the
format initial.surname much easier for them as well...

If there is a clash, well they just pick a slight variation..

 

Well, yes. That is what I have ended up doing as well. I had been browsing and found the setting interesting, and decided to try. The rest is history.

 

I tried this tonight on my server and found it was working fine for me. The only thing was that it still kept adding the domain number to the usernames. Even with this, it much easier identifying user activity in the logs when you can identify the domain extention.

It helped me a great deal anyway!
