The server returns an HTTP 422 response when creating a user if UTF-8 characters are provided for that user's login, firstname or lastname. Note that other types of interesting characters are allowed, such as latin-1 and CJK.

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

Expected results:

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