Client allows you to save a situation with an invalid character

It is possible to create and save a situation with a wildcard character such as an
asterix (*). However, a situation created with this character is not valid.
Tivoli Enterprise Portal or the browser displays the yen symbol as a
backslash in Japanese
The yen symbol is represented by x'5C' in the Japanese code page 943 and 932
(Shift-JIS). However, Windows systems also use x'5C' as the syntactic character
"escape", "backslash", or a directory delimiter. In Unicode (used internally by Java),
the backslash is U+005C and the yen symbol is U+00A5. The Java runtimes have
two different converters for Shift-JIS code pages, depending on whether the input
x'5C' should be treated as a backslash or the yen symbol. However, in the Tivoli
Enterprise Portal or the browser, the JVM treats x'5C' as a backslash. This situation
does not affect the function; it is only a display issue.

Non-ASCII characters are not accepted in the user ID or the
distinguished name field
If you have non-ASCII characters in your user ID or distinguished names within
LDAP, and then add another user into the Tivoli Enterprise Portal, the characters
are removed from the name and the user cannot log in. Remove the non-ASCII
characters from distinguished name or the user ID.
