1. Must be between one and 16 characters in length.
2. Must comprised of only alphanumeric characters but can also include periods or dashes as long as they are not the first character of the ID.
3. Must be unique.
4. Must be the same as the Active Directory User-ID when requiring Active Directory authentication.
