In the "replicate a new user" program, if we try to do a username such as "will.parr" with a period in it, it will complain of an illegal character. However, if we create the user "will.parr" manually within the users module it will create just fine. We need the standard firstname.lastname structure for our active directory integration, and it would be nice to replicate new users & their quick tabs in the newest version of apex without having apex seeing a period as an illegal character.
This will be in Apex 7.7 which will be released in the next few weeks.
Case CAS-57304-T0L9C was created to track this in support (and to escalate to development).
Ill vote this up because periods aren't in the list of restricted characters, so this shouldnt be a limitation.
