This Attribute indicates the name of the user to be authenticated or
accounted. It is used in Access-Request and Accounting attributes.
The length of the username is usually limited by some arbitrary value.
By default, Radius supports usernames up to 32 characters long. This
value can be modified by redefining RUT_USERNAME macro in
include/radutmp.h file in the distribution directory and recompiling the
program.
Some NASes have peculiarities about sending long usernames. For example, Specialix Jetstream 8500 24 port access server inserts a `/' character after the 10th character if the username is longer than 10 characters. In such cases, we recommend to apply rewrite functions in order to bring username to its "normal" form (see section Rewrite functions -- `raddb/rewrite').
