ESRI BUG Status Update: Username is longer than 20 characters
The status of Esri BUG-000102658 has been changed to the dreaded "Not in Current Product Plan".
- During the installation of Portal for ArcGIS
- When specifying the Portal for ArcGIS service account
- The following error message displays

- "Username is longer than 20 characters"
- Public Explanation: Use Domain\username instead of the User Principle Name (useranme@domain).

I found this link about secure authentication that lists options for up to 1,000 characters in the authentication process.
Users are unable to authenticate if their usernames are greater than 20 characters.
I think there is room for improvement here from both sides and look forward to reading you comments in this discussion.
