Summary

When logging in as a user with certain special characters in the username (for example '@'), an error dialog is shown.

Environment

• Bitbucket Server 4.6
• User's local time zone does not match server time

Steps to Reproduce

1. Set server time zone to differ from local (computer/browser) time zone
2. Log in as a user with an '@' character in the username (in this case 'user@example')

Expected Results

No errors are shown.

Actual Results

A modal error dialog is shown.

User user_example does not exist.

Workaround

Disable time zone user onboarding by setting the feature.user.time.zone.onboarding flag.
Note: this flag only disables the onboarding capability, and not the "Support for personalized time zones" feature (see Bitbucket Server 4.6 release notes).
These are the steps to follow:

1. Stop Bitbucket Server
2. In your bitbucket.properties file add the following line

   feature.user.time.zone.onboarding=false
   

3. Restart Bitbucket Server
