#5413 [RFE] Allow users to authenticate with alternative names
Closed: Fixed None Opened 8 years ago by dpal.

Users sometimes prefer to use emails or other alises when they authenticate. In some environments it is a requirement to be able to authenticate with an email address.

We already have a ticket to allow aliases for hosts and services #1365. This ticket calls for the similar functionality but for users.


The plumbing work described in #3864 should be in place first for proper aliases support.
