Unable to use special characters in a username in UMP

Products

• DX Unified Infrastructure Management (Nimsoft / UIM)

Issue/Introduction

I wanted to change my UMP login username, then I got the error "please enter a valid screen name".   I wonder if there is restriction for UMP username?

Environment

Release : 9.2.0

Component : UIM - UMP

Resolution

You cannot set an account with special characters in the name, and also per the information here it is recommended that you set the name all in lowercase characters:
