Rob Emanuele (ie rdemanuele@gmail.com) is trying to create an osgeo id so
we can provide write access to the geotools maven repository.

From email:

I tried to create an OSGeo ID here: https://www.osgeo.org/cgi-
bin/ldap_create_user.py a number of times, but I am getting a "User
Creation Failed" error message (with no other info provided). Is there
another way I should be creating an ID?

Thanks,
Rob

Until Frank (or others) that have the power to fix this come online, I
usually answer these issues by telling the user to create a username
without any special characters (in any of the fields)...80% of the time
this is the issue.

Comment:

I have improved the error reporting (we neglected to <pre> format the
error message). Unfortunately, we are still apparently restricted to not
include non-ascii characters in the ldap id.

Thanks. Can we also add a 'NOTE' or 'WARNING' block of text on the
creation page, stating to not use special characters?
