Cannot use UTF8 characters as a user's login, firstname or lastname
Last modified: 2016-07-27 04:45:10 EDT
Description of problem: 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.

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.
