[Mapbender_dev] Why username;email in digest authentication?

[Armin Retterath]

hi vikas,

the problem is, that the mb_user_name is ambiguous! many 
implementiations have some kind of self registration functions. we need 
a unique identifier and i think this could be a good way to allow simple 
usernames.

armin
