All login names in Adaptive Server must be valid identifiers. However, external security mechanisms, such as LAN Manager, may allow login names that are invalid in Adaptive Server.
For example, login names that are longer than 30 characters or that contain special characters such as !, %, *, and & are invalid names in Adaptive Server.
