Slider version 0.80 with secured cluster Use case is to create a component reflecting user name. It seems the only valid character in component name besides [A-Z][a-z[0-9] is underscore '_'.
Attempt to create a component with characters like dash '-' or many other characters fail to bring up the component with error like below where <COMP-NAME> is the component name containing offending character INFO 2015-12-24 18:55:40,605 Controller.py:140 - Registering with the server at https://host1:41613/ws/v1/slider/agents/container_1450746204314_0043_01_000002___<COMP-NAME>/register with data '{"tags": "", "timestamp": 1450983340604, "expectedState": 0, "responseId": -1, "actualState": 0, "logFolders": {}, "agentVersion": "1", "allocatedPorts": {}, "appVersion": null, "publicHostname": "host2", "label": "container_1450746204314_0043_01_000002___<COMP-NAME>"}' INFO 2015-12-24 18:55:40,605 security.py:89 - SSL Connect being called.. connecting to the server INFO 2015-12-24 18:55:40,695 security.py:51 - SSL connection established.
