Resolution: → fixed

We've got some suggestions and even patches to improve checking for invalid usernames in the registration procedure. Therefore now we've added the following checks in [9260]:

  • against a list of reserved names (refs #5295)
  • against a admin-configurable character blacklist, by default containing
    • colon, since it's corrupting HtPasswdStore (closes #4682)
    • '[' and ']', since they're corrupting SvnServePasswordStore (closes #2630)

Additionally we're taking care of and instantly remove surrounding whitespace around usernames and email addresses (closes #7087).

Thanks to all contributors, especially to manski, for exceptional help by reviewing tickets and bundling related issues.
