<TITLE>RE: [rt-users] RT login with userid that is numeric</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>If that is the case, perhaps you should prevent someone from creating an all numeric userid. It is not obvious at all why I could not log on using the numeric id, only after looking through code did I find out. I don't recall reading anything anywhere about creating userids that they could not be numeric either.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>RT doesn't support numeric "names" for object. There are a number of</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>places in the product where we allow users to do things by name or by</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>id. Using numeric names breaks that and could lead to unexpected</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>results.</FONT>
