[jira] [Commented] (INFRA-6953) Whimsy needs to abstract out a user id regex

["Joe Schaefer (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-6953?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13811973#comment-13811973 ] 

Joe Schaefer commented on INFRA-6953:
-------------------------------------

Here is the regexp we use to validate account creation requests on id.apache.org:

/^[a-z][-a-z0-9_]+$/

which agrees with what we use on the CMS.

> We've gotten to the point now where we depend on whimsy's agenda.cgi script to process new TLPs.  It would therefore be prudent to use a more robust regexp for handling Apache user id's than \w+.  I would be happy to suggest a tested regexp currently used by the CMS if there is interest.
