Hi,
Thanks for the note. I’ve released a new version that adds another check to increase the minimum length of usernames. My use case was only to decrease the minimum length.
I haven’t tested it with BuddyPress. If you’ve gotten it working, could you provide some guidance? A few other people have asked about that:

In reply to: [HTTP Authentication] [Plugin: HTTP Authentication] Fantastic plugin!Thanks! Glad it has been useful.
This plugin is designed to work on WordPress networks. I have not tested with BuddyPress or bbPress. I would guess that they use a different hook for validating usernames.
Could you provide more details on what broke?
I appreciate the note. I agree that the process for overriding the restrictions is less than ideal.
Testing based on the text of the error messages was unfortunately the only option in this case, and I’ll be keeping an eye on changes to WordPress core to avoid breakage.
They don’t have to be the same. A given user can have any number of blogs associated with his or her account. My plugin gives you control over the usernames, while WPMU Blog Name Restrictions Override gives you control over the blog names.
If you’re a plugin developer, each of these plugins hooks into different parts of the WordPress code. WPMU Blog Name Restrictions Override uses
wpmu_validate_blog_signup
while my plugin userswpmu_validate_user_signup
.The two plugins work great together, and the fact that the options in mine are similar is no coincidence. As noted in the plugin description my plugin is based on WPMU Blog Name Restrictions Override.

In reply to: [HTTP Authentication] [Plugin: HTTP Authentication] Redirect LoopHi Bill,
When you logout, are you also logging out of your server authentication? Are you sure that
wp-login.php
andwp-admin
are passing theREMOTE_USER
variable?
