Hello all-
Through this forum's archives and IC docs, I've discovered how to use an email address
for a username by putting the following lines in my catalog.cfg:
UserDB default indirect_login email
UserDB default assign_username 1
UserDB default ignore_case 1
My question now, is how do you validate that new email/username field when a new user is
signing up so that it only accepts valid email addresses? I know of:
UserDB default username_mask REGEXP_HERE
But that regexp needs to match invalid email addresses. I've been unable to find a
regexp online that already does the validation that way; usually they test for valid
email addresses. In the interest of saving time in creating a new regexp, I was hoping
someone on this list already created this regexp and could post it here. Alternately, is
there another way I should be doing this validation? I really appreaciate your help
here.
thanks!
Naomi
