For the time being, Synnefo's API for keypairs (/os-keypairs)
supported only English characters(A-Z, a-z), numbers(0-9), dashes(-) and
underscores(_). That practice generated some compatibility issues, since
some clients such as Vagrant generate key names and append extra
characters such as colons(:), spaces( ) etc.
Using OpenStack's Nova implementation, we added a regex generator that
accepts a defined range of UTF-8 characters. We can use this validator
to further improve the validation and URL checking of various endpoints.
As a showcase we have implemented a leading trailing space validator for
the key names that accepts strings that contain at least one non
white space character.
