What is output of locale?

non-ascii vault names should be rejected (freeipa-server-4.4.3-1.fc25.x86_64 with en utf-8 locale)

ipa vault-add
Vault name: 日本刀

IPA server version

# rpm -qa ipa-server
ipa-server-4.4.90-201703122305.el7.x86_64

I cannot reproduce the issue with 4.5.0:

$ rpm -qa freeipa-server
freeipa-server-4.5.0-0.fc25.x86_64
$ ipa vault-add
Vault name: 日本刀
New password: 
Verify password: 
ipa: ERROR: invalid 'name': may only include letters, numbers, _, ., and -

Closing, cannot be reproduced.
