How reproducible:
Almost always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a user via the API. Provide any number of UTF-8 characters as a login, firstname or lastname.

Actual results:
HTTP 422 response with one of the following messages:

  • First name is invalid
  • Last name is invalid
  • Surname is invalid

Expected results:
One of the following:

  • A user is created.
  • A helpful error message is returned.

Additional info:
Once in a while - say, once every 20 attempts - a user is sucessfully created even though UTF-8 chars are submitted.
