Hi Karthik,

The code for not duplicating User Screen name is written in UserLocalServiceImpl java file in LR Source.
In this class there is method validateScreenName.
The Code is in the above mentioned method is:

User user = userPersistence.fetchByC_SN(companyId, screenName);

		if (user != null) {
			throw new DuplicateUserScreenNameException();
		}

So, you need to extend this java file.

For you information there is one more thing, you can also change screen name validater file in property file.

users.screen.name.validator=com.liferay.portal.security.auth.DefaultScreenNameValidator
    #users.screen.name.validator=com.liferay.portal.security.auth.LiberalScreenNameValidator

Let me know if you want anything more.

Thanks,
Pranay

Hi Pranay,
Screen name doesn't allow spaces, I need to import users from LDAP , My LDAP display name is mapped to liferay screen name,
suppose if i have spaces in Display name, users are not getting imported,
What i need to do is,
if the screen name have space means,my validation removes that space
How can i code this?
Is der any way to do this?


Thanks in advance

Hi,
As I have told you,
Use the below mentioned property:

users.screen.name.validator=com.liferay.portal.security.auth.LiberalScreenNameValidator

And also if you need then extend Class UserLocalServiceImpl and validateScreenName method of that class.

Thanks,

Hi,

You can take a look at the following scheme in order to understand completely this process:
Screename Validation Wiki

I hope this helps you.

Should have answered that people shouldn't be messing around with screen name. Making Liferay accept non-unique screen name and with spaces by modifying validation seems to work, but it may stop Liferay from working properly becauase some methods rely on returning only one screen name. These methods will not work properly when there are several non-unique screen names.
Just changing codes to force to do something is completely different from changing specification to make the system continue working properly. Should only change specification after completely understanding how Liferay works.
