Consider respecting Active Directory Name Length Limits
Last modified: 2019-01-03 07:23:07 CET
Microsoft Active Directory implements some name length limits (https://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/library/active-directory-maximum-limits-scalability(v=ws.10).aspx#BKMK_NameLimits) that are more restrictive than what UCS allows. For example, common names are limited to 64 characters. UCS and Samba allow common names that are longer than 64 characers: > cn: DiesisteinGruppennamemitsehrvielenZeichenumdasLimitzutestenUndzuueberschreiten > sAMAccountName: DiesisteinGruppennamemitsehrvielenZeichenumdasLimitzutestenUndzuueberschreiten Tbh, I consider this an advantage over MS Active Directory, but we might face problems when it comes to interoperability (AD Connector, AD Trusts, 3rd party applications ...) Maybe we should implement checks / warnings, maybe depending on the installed Apps?
