Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 11 Og Maciel 2016-03-22 19:56:39 UTC 
The following permutations were used to verify this issue:

Login | First Name | Surname
-----------------------------
überüser | Bart Simpson
mane | Zé | Mane
rolo | Ze | Mané
㳤沪㛴懎镶歿宓퓺헍艁 | 㳤沪㛴懎镶歿 | 宓퓺헍艁

* All users were successfully created via the web UI
* All users were able to successfully log in via the web UI

Next step, we will check this issue using the REST API.
Comment 12 Bruno Rocha 2016-03-22 20:52:33 UTC 
API 

Verified on: Satellite6.2.0 Snap4.0 running on RHEL 7 x86_64

Steps:

* Use curl to call the /api/users API endpoint
* Create a user for each variant on table (see below)
* Login via the web UI using each user

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Basic KEY" -d '{
    "user": {
        "login": "USER",
        "firstname": "FIRST",
        "lastname": "LAST",
        "mail": "bart",
        "password": "s3cr3tâé",
        "auth_source_id": 1
    }
}' "https://SATELLITE_HOST/api/users"


The above was tested for each variant below:

Login | First Name | Surname
-----------------------------
überüser | Bart Simpson
mane | Zé | Mane
rolo | Ze | Mané
㳤沪㛴懎镶歿宓퓺헍艁 | 㳤沪㛴懎镶歿 | 宓퓺헍艁


Result:

* All users were successfully created via the REST API (curl & postman)
* All users were able to successfully log in via the web UI
