Hi Dan,

you can also write your own QuickForm rules. You can write one to
easily search your LU container(s) at form submission, to look for
duplicates, and then you can use the QuickForm validation system to
throw an error if need be.

Keep in mind that it might be not  a good idea to give an error string
like "This username already exists" but rather "Please choose another
username". A little bit of security might be saved by that.

Best,
Benedikt
