Special Character change in R81.20 JHF 96

[C_H]

Hello Everyone,

I recently came across the limitation described in https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk183201:

After installing JHF96+ for R81.20, a "." (dot) in a username is a problem for WebUI Login and logging in with a username with a dot  no longer works (SSH is unaffected of this).

To be fair, I checked the documentation and only "-" and "_" are mentioned as allowed special characters in usernames (I looked in the GAiA Admin Guide R80.40, R81, R81.10 and R81.20), but I know several environments where dots are used in the admin name concept and have worked without problems so far

What are your opinions?

Best Regards

Colin
