I want to add new users with corp/user name. But it gives me an error saying '/' not allowed in user name. What setting can I use to enable this ?

You can add this key into web.config <add key="CMSUserValidationRegEx" value="([A-Za-z0-9-]+)" />

and change the RegEx to include \ or set it to a xx\yy

Thanks for your answer. I found that you can also add this key which will do the same.

<add key="CMSEnsureSafeUserNames" value="false" />
