InstantSSH username limitation

  • Hello


    It will be great that the prefix for the username was replaced by the username of imscp (ex for xxx.com -> imscp_sshusername replaced by xxx.com_sshusername).


    It will be great too if the limit of 8 characters was deleted.

    No. See below to known why.

    No. The limitation come from libc5 for which most of tools were developed. We could raise the limit up to 32 characters (according libc6) but usernames would be truncated by most of tools, or would cause warnings.



    In a future version, we will remove the prefix, providing the administrator a way to blacklist some usernames.

  • Hello


    oh ok sorry, I didn't know that there were any restrictions to the ssh's user name.


    I think it's not a good idea to remove the prefix, for me, each user should have his own prefix. Why not the system virtual user (vuXXXX) ?
