Long Names Cannot Login with UPN format about dnn.activedirectory

[sawest]

SAM accounts are limited to 20 characters, therefore, a username that is longer than 20 characters is invalid and doesn't exist in AD. I cant think of a reason to pursue authenticating a user that doesn't exist in AD. This is an AD Authentication Provider.

I'm sorry if i didn't describe this clearly. the user accounts are in active directory. previous version of module permitted long usernames to successfully login using UPN format. this is expected as UPN supports up to 64 character. the current version does not allow long usernames to login using UPN format but will allow that person to login successfully if the truncate their username to 20 characters and drop the @domain.com UPN fomatting. I'm hoping to see this version of the module act the way of previous versions permitting successful authentication of up to 64 character UPN formatted usernames. thanks

please reopen this issue

Please give detailed steps to reproduce including exact usernames in UPN format.

[rbeghin]

This problem occurs for all Active Directory users with usernames longer than 20 characters.
For example:
AD functional level: Windows Server 2008
AD Firstname: Josephine AD Lastname: Reallylongname
AD Display name: Josephine Reallylongname
AD User longon name: [email protected] <<<<UPN format
User longon name (pre-Windows 2000): Josephine.Reallylong

In DNN 7 AD module would authenticate [email protected] successfully.
In DNN 9 with current AD module the UPN logon name [email protected] cannot login.
However, if the user the pre-Windows 2000 formatted login: Josephine.Reallylong they are able to successfully login.

I am hoping to be able to have the same functionality for long login names that was in previous versions.

Thanks
