Proscribed Usernames are not blocked
Reported by Mike Adams saying:
@timbl I noticed that on migration to solidcommunity.net that blacklisted usernames were not blocked, is this a bug or a feature?
Prior to Inrupt and soli.community implementing the blacklisted user name list, I had registered a number of pods with blacklisted usernames, should we consider surrendering those pods, or will Inrupt and solidcommunity.net close those pods out?
Prior to Solid implementing the blacklisted username list I had registered about 50 pods with usernames that are on the blacklist, should I surrender them or keep them? Or should the pod provider admin close them?
@timbl may I ask why you changed the title? is the word proscribed to mean blacklisted, it’s a little ambiguous.
https://www.npmjs.com/package/solid-server Blacklisted usernames
By default Solid will not allow certain usernames as they might cause confusion or allow vulnerabilies for social engineering. This list is configurable via config/usernames-blacklist.json. Solid does not blacklist profanities by default.
~/solid-config/config/usernames-blacklist.json was missing I just added it back.
Seeing as you implemented the username blacklist does that mean that those accounts that were established With some of the blacklisted usernames prior will be deleted?
