#6283 IPA UI blocks creation of groups with UTF characters
Closed: wontfix Opened by mbasti.

Ticket was cloned from Red Hat Bugzilla (product Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7): Bug 1369496

Description of problem:
Per summary. This may be a reasonable behaviour for POSIX groups, but should
not be blocked for non-POSIX groups.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-server-4.2.0-15.el7_2.17.x86_64
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Navigate to User Groups, + ADD
2. Provide reasonable group name, e.g. "?quipe"
3. See error message
4. Switch to Normal or Extended group, same message
Actual results:
Error message
Expected results:
Takes reasonable group name
Additional info:
ldapadd can add a group with such a name just fine. The UI seems to display and
operate on the groups OK.
If IPA displays groups from external sources, it will see groups with UTF
characters.
LDAP spec allows for UTF characters in group names.
Suspect check was implemented for POSIX groups and was not limited to only
POSIX groups.

That is "équipe".
