Description of problem:

We use email addresses as username in RHN/RHSM (for example our QA account is qa). While SAM is supposed to act as sort of proxy to RHSM, I've expected it to support such user names too.

So I tried:

# katello-configure --deployment=sam --user-name=qa --user-pass=redhatqa --org-name="Red Hat"

and I got failure (in the log):

Validation failed: Username cannot contain characters other than alpha numerals,'_', '-'.

Then I tried:

# katello-configure --deployment=sam --user-name=admin --user-pass=admin --org-name="Red Hat"

and I got the same failure again.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
katello-configure-0.1.107-1.el6.noarch

How reproducible:
Install RHEL-6.2 GA and register to RHN, add SAM-2012-04-12.2 repository.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum -y install katello-headpin-all
2. katello-configure --deployment=sam --user-name=qa --user-pass=redhatqa --org-name="Red Hat"
3. katello-configure --deployment=sam --user-name=admin --user-pass=admin --org-name="Red Hat"
  
Actual results:

[root@hp-dl360g5-01 ~]# katello-configure --deployment=sam --user-name=qa --user-pass=redhatqa --org-name="Red Hat"

Expected results:
1. katello-configure should support '@' in user names.
2. katello-configure should either refuse wrong the username beforehand or be able to resume, when run again with correct params.

Did not make it in. Moving to 1.2.

We will allow these usernames in headpin mode only for now. Katello will remain restrictive until pulp is fixed.
