Configuring the email address as the username in an already running Identity Server is not the production recommended way. Therefore, make sure to configure it before you begin working with WSO2 IS.

  1. Open the <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/conf/carbon.xml file.

  2. Look for the commented out configuration EnableEmailUserName. Uncomment the configuration to enable email authentication.

    Code Block
    languagehtml/xml
    <EnableEmailUserName>true</EnableEmailUserName>

  3. Open the <IS_HOME>/repository/conf/claim-config.xml file and configure the AttributeID property of the http://wso2.org/claims/username claim ID that is under <Dialect dialectURI="http://wso2.org/claims"> to mail.

    Code Block
    <Claim>
   <ClaimURI>http://wso2.org/claims/username</ClaimURI>
   <DisplayName>Username</DisplayName>
   <AttributeID>mail</AttributeID>
   <Description>Username</Description>
</Claim>
    Note

    This file is checked only when WSO2 IS is starting for the first time. Therefore, if you haven't configured this property at the time of starting up the server for the first time, you will get errors at the start up.

  4. Open the <IS_HOME>/repository/conf/identity/identity-mgt.properties file and set the following property to true. 

    Info

    This step is required due to a known issue that prevents the confirmation codes from being removed after they are used when email usernames are enabled. This occurs because the '@' character (and some special characters) are not allowed in the registry. To overcome this issue, enable hashed usernames when saving the confirmation codes by configuring the properties below.

    Code Block
    languagexml
    UserInfoRecovery.UseHashedUserNames=true

    Optionally, you can also configure the following property to determine which hash algorithm to use.

    Code Block
    languagexml
    UserInfoRecovery.UsernameHashAlg=SHA-1

  5. Configure the following set of parameters in the user store configuration, depending on the type of user store you are connected to (LDAP/Active Directory/ JDBC).

    ParameterDescription

    UserNameAttribute


    Set the mail attribute of the user. LDAP/Active Directory only

    Code Block
    languagehtml/xml
    <Property name="UserNameAttribute">mail</Property>
    UserNameSearchFilter

    Use the mail attribute of the user instead of cn or uid. LDAP/Active Directory only

    Code Block
    languagehtml/xml
    <Property name="UserNameSearchFilter">(&amp;(objectClass=identityPerson)(mail=?))</Property>
    UserNameListFilter

    Use the mail attribute of the user. LDAP/Active Directory only

    Code Block
    languagehtml/xml
    <Property name="UserNameListFilter">(&amp;(objectClass=identityPerson)(mail=*))</Property>
    UserDNPattern

    This parameter is used to speed up the LDAP search operations. You can comment out this config. LDAP/Active Directory only

    Code Block
    languagehtml/xml
    <!--Property name="UserDNPattern">cn={0},ou=Users,dc=wso2,dc=com</Property-->
    UsernameJavaScriptRegEx


    Change this property that is under the relevant user store manager tag as follows. This property allows you to add special characters like "@" in the username.

    Code Block
    languagexml
    <Property name="UsernameJavaScriptRegEx">^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$</Property>
    UsernameJavaRegEx

    This is a regular expression to validate usernames. By default, strings have a length of 5 to 30. Only non-empty characters are allowed. You can provide ranges of alphabets, numbers and also ranges of ASCII values in the RegEx properties.

    Code Block
    languagexml
    <Property name="UsernameJavaRegEx">^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$</Property>
    Realm configurations

    The AdminUser username must use the email attribute of the admin user.

    Code Block
    languagehtml/xml
    <AdminUser>
         <UserName>admin@wso2.com</UserName>
         <Password>admin</Password>
</AdminUser>
    Note

    Before this configuration, the user having the username admin and password admin was considered the super administrator. The super administrator user cannot be deleted.

    After this configuration, the user having the username admin@wso2.com is considered the super administrator. The user having the username admin is considered as a normal administrator.

    Tip

    If you changed the password of the admin user to something other than 'admin', start the WSO2 IS server using the -Dsetup parameter as shown in the command below.

    Code Block
    sh wso2server.sh -Dsetup
    Info

    With these configuration users can log in to super tenant with both email user name (bob@gmalalex@gmal.com) or non-email user names (alicelarry). But for tenant only email user names allowed (tod@gmail.com@wso2.com)

    Note

    You can configure email user name without enabling EnableEmailUserName property, then users can login to both super tenant and tenant using email and non-email user names. But super tenant users should always use @carbon.super at the end of user names.

  6. Restart the server.
