If you use a username as the login extension, {% data variables.product.company_short %} validates that the named user has not been renamed since the certificate was issued. This prevents a rename attack, where a certificate issued for a username is valid even if the underlying user account changes. To enforce this, the certificate must include the `valid_after` claim, which tells us when the certificate was issued. This field is often missing if an expiration is not required for the certificate, which is why expirations are now required.
