Allowing a / is not POSIX-compliant.
Our regex is based on shadow-utils/libmisc/chkname.c::is_valid_name()
/*
* User/group names must match gnu e-regex:
* [a-zA-Z0-9_.][a-zA-Z0-9_.-]{0,30}[a-zA-Z0-9_.$-]?
*
* as a non-POSIX, extension, allow "$" as the last char for
* sake of Samba 3.x "add machine script"
*
* Also do not allow fully numeric names or just "." or "..".
*/
Unfortunately the only way to change this would be manually update the
IPA code on each server (and future servers) to include slash in the regex.
