I believe these instructions need to be updated to instruct using the
script/create_admin script.
Anyway, here is the relevant part in app/models/user.rb:
# For new users we are a little more strict than for existing ones.
USERNAME_FORMAT = /[a-z0-9\-_\.]+/i.freeze
USERNAME_FORMAT_ON_CREATE = /[a-z0-9\-]+/.freeze
...
validates_format_of :login, :with =>
/^#{USERNAME_FORMAT_ON_CREATE}$/i, :on => :create
validates_format_of :login, :with => /^#{USERNAME_FORMAT}$/i, :on
=> :update
It is not explained the reason why the rules are different for new and
existent users, but I guess the original format was USERNAME_FORMAT,
which allowed underscore (_) and dots (.). Then, for some unknown reason
to me, it has probably changed for not allowing dots and underscore
anymore, probably for easing routes generation. The different rules are
probably explained because there was no obvious thing to do with current
users.
That is why you can use dots and underscore in existent users but not
for new users. We should think in some better solution for this anyway...
Not sure how to proceed yet :)
Best regards,
Rodrigo.

I followed this guide:

And specified user.login=w.trumbitta in the create admin script, as
showed in the guide
