Description

If the image name(prettyname) of an OS image is named in japanese 2byte characters, the virtual OS will not run. The direct cause is that the Guest OS does not reply, when set_my_computer_name function is submitted by VCL daemon. Considering a case when VCL is used out of English-speaking areas, we suggest an improvement.(Refer VCL-485)
We attached a source code with an interim bug fix.
Bug fix: Changing the character check method of the Web GUI to only allow alphabets, numbers and limited symbols.
