User Id vs principal

vincenzo
This post was updated on .
NewGenLib seems not to accept more than 20 chars in the username string (CRITICAL ERROR...)
I'd like to map the User Id with the user principal (eduPersonPrincipalName in my case) and this would be a critical limitation, since usually the scoped principal ends up being pretty long ('username@organization.edu' = 25 chars)
Anyone found a way to relax this policy ? Thanks !

I believe it does not support non-alpha characters (so even "." is void).

Yes, Users can use their Login Id / Patron Id / Email to login from OPAC
However if there is a LDAP authentication then, System uses Login ID only for the purpose

I tried to use the Login Id and succeded to use more than 20 chars, however there is a problem.
After configuring VuFind for NGL I found that VuFind binds his own auth system with NGL's User Id, not Login Id.
Anymore knows how / where to change this ?
