Username can't entered / will automatically created

In one instance the username for new user can not be entered anymore. It says will be generated automatically.

At the moment no external user-management (LDAP, via SQL etc.) is activated.

The point is few days before all act as normal. Which change could cause this issue?

This PR adds following two switches for creating new users: * requiring email… address * auto-generation of userid The motivation is to allow untechnical (sub)admins to allow to create users on an external backend. The user id does not play a role, but the email has to be enforced. Therefore, there are no graphical switches. Bu the flags can be set via occ and they also do work with the local backend. For testing: ``` occ config:app:set settings newUser.requireEmail --value=yes ``` This flag sets the email field to required when creating a new user. The provsioning API errors with 110 if it is not provided. ``` occ config:app:set settings newUser.generateUserID --value=yes ``` This disables the new username field on the users page. The user will be appended to the list after creation with a random 10-character long ascii string. In case an unexisting userid could not be generated, the provisioning API will error with 111 after 10 attempts.

Sounds nearly identically. I didn’t tried this add-in/settings, but the behavior is similar, i will set tomorrow the level to debug an try tomorrow some options of this kind, may i find the responsible one. Maybe some other add ins causes this behavior to. Thanks for that pointing out.
