APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • 1. Log in to cloud manager as admin for the default user
registry
2. Go to members -> add member -> create a member with username
that has a space in it e.g. "test user" and fill in the form to
create the user (notice the form does not give any validation
errors here)
3. Log out of admin user and try to log in as the new user using
spaces. backend call works fine but we see a validation error on
the UI as follows:

Error message stating: 'Username should not include spaces!'.
