Re: username length character limits?

I now have tried an equal length name, and it logs in fine:

    't012345678901_web_user' with pword 'password' works fine.

The problem below is consistent. I can drop and recrate the user, and it always cannot be logged into using that name.
Ican successfully alter the user, so the system is finding it, I just can't authenticate into it.
