Credential username can be created with underscore character but credential can't be used about gvmd

if special characters are truly not allowed

That's not an easy task as it sounds first. Due to local policies and different operating systems some usernames might be valid on one system but not on the other. There is no username rule that fits for all systems.

We are aware of these problems and are thinking about something like "test these credentials to login into this system" functionality. But this is in an early stage and will take some time.

As pointed out in the community thread the underscore as well as -, \, . or @ seems to be supported / allowed fully with the PR #59 and will be shipped with the next openvas-manager release.
