RFC6531 - UNICODE in Email #199

Open j-arz opened 10 years ago

j-arz commented 10 years ago

Hi, I have some students who do not have a .kit.edu Email address. I plan to add them to the system manually. Unfortunately one of them has an umlaut 'ü' in his local part, which some German Providers, in this case web.de, seem to allow and which is possible since RFC6531 in 2012. The current parser does not allow this, is it possible to change this?

The usual policy is to make these students to got the SCC and get an account, and really only use the SSO...

Anyways, the validation code is part of the standard django code and for easy of maintenance I’d like to avoid fiddling with that. Surely the user is used to these problems and has an ASCII-only address as well?
