User Account Requirements

Here are the requirements for creating an user account in OpenCMS (tested with 6.2.3).

• Username is required
  • Minimum required length is 1 character.
  • Valid characters are only letters, digits and "-._~$@".
  • Email addresses can be used as the username (but strongly discouraged!)
    • There is no way to change the username once a user account has been created within OpenCMS. Since email addresses are prone to changing it causes them to be bad candidates as usernames in the long run.
• Password is required
  • Minimum required length is 4 characters.
• First name is required
  • Minimum required length is 1 character.
• Last name is required
  • Minimum required length is 1 character.
• Email address is required
  • Must validate as an email address (Uses commons-validator)
