Error description

• v5 to v10 migration: Unable to create user with username
  starting from 0
  
  Edit Subject
  
  DescriptionWhile trying to migrate, we noticed that we are
  unable to migrate users whose name start with 0. Please note
  that this is a valid name as we use employee id as username as
  few users have 0 in their employee id as the starting digit.
  Error log:

Local fix

Problem summary

• <span style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255)">If the
  username is sent starting with starts with 0 (zero) followed by
  non-zero characters, during internal conversion from YAML to
  JSON, the string data was being read as an integer. This would
  have affected all data values for String fields when value
  begins with zero followed by alphabets, and YAML data is
  sent.</span>
  

Problem conclusion

• The internal transformation of YAML to JSON, and back to YAML
  was fixed so that we don't convert from String to integer value
  if quoted.
  
  The fix was done in LTS 10.0.1.6 and later, and CD
  10.0.4.0-ifix2 and later.
