Email Id as UserId not working in 7.11 Camunda

Dear Team,

I am trying to create mail id as user id in 7.11 camunda version.But it is not working. Giving error as “Not as valid user id”.

for example : xxx@gmail.com not working.

But 7.8 version working fine. Is it expected behaviour in 7.11?

Regards,
Kedari

Hi @kedarik,

it’s expected as Camunda now supports a whitelist for User IDs: https://docs.camunda.org/manual/7.11/user-guide/process-engine/identity-service/#custom-whitelist-for-user-group-and-tenant-ids.

Hope this helps, Ingo

Hi @Ingo_Richtsmeier,

Thanks for Quick reply. Then below property needs to be add in bpm-platform.xml right?

<property name=“generalResourceWhitelistPattern” value=".+"/>

Hi @kedarik,

well, the docs could be more specific, but this sentence

If your organisation allows the usage of additional characters (ex.: special characters), the ProcessEngineConfiguartion propery generalResourceWhitelistPattern should be set with the appropriate pattern in the engine’s configuration file.

means the either bpm-platform.xml for Tomcat, WebSphere, WebLogic or settings.xml for Wildfly, JBoss or a configuration bean for Spring boot.

Hope this helps, Ingo

Thanks @Ingo_Richtsmeier
