Hello,

Support for longer usrenames from the WebUI side will be included in 7.5 firmware version.

At the moment, longer usernames can be edited via CLI/SSH.

If you want to edit username length of the root group user for WebUI login, execute the following commands:

  • uci set [email protected][-1].username='newuserlonger'
  • uci commit rpcd
  • /etc/init.d/rpcd restart

For users of other groups, you will need to edit rpcd configuration file. First, execute the following command:

  • vi /etc/config/rpcd

 Press letter i to enable editing and edit username option under login section for a particular user:

Once done press Esc, then enter :wq and press Enter.

Now, you should be able to login using longer usernames.

Best regards,
