Internal ID: MTM-66224

Description


Validation has been added for the “User/App ID – Constant value” field used during SSO authentication when the “Use constant value” option is enabled.

When a constant username is configured for SSO users (optional setting), it now follows the same validation rules as a standard username:

Validation Rules

  • String length: 1–1000 characters
  • Must not contain:
    • Whitespace
    • Slashes
    • Any of the following characters: +, $, :

This change ensures consistency in username validation and prevents invalid values from being configured for shared SSO accounts.
