The message shown in the error dialog box is configured in user-mgt.xml (in case of a primary userstore) under the relevant <UserStoreManager> as follows. <Property name="UsernameJavaRegExViolationErrorMsg">Username pattern policy violated</Property> In case this property is missing, the below default error message is shown. “Entered user name is not conforming to policy. Please enter a user name, which adheres to policy.”

So you should be able to resolve this concern by setting a meaningful error message in the relevant <UserStoreManager> in <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/conf/user-mgt.xml. (For secondary user stores changes should be applied to relevant config files in <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/userstores folder)

For more details below is the source code governing this behaviour. [1]. https://github.com/wso2-support/carbon-identity-framework/blob/support-5.7.5/components/user-mgt/org.wso2.carbon.user.mgt.ui/src/main/resources/web/user/add-step1.jsp#L190

Now I have the following config for both Primary and Secondary user stores

Username pattern policy violated.

When I am adding an invalid user to Primary user store, getting above configured error message. But when adding to secondary user store getting an error message as below.

[msm1992]

For the error with secondary userstores, will you please check whether the following regex property is set to an appropriate regex value (to support email usernames) in your secondary user store configuration ?

Ex: <Property name="UsernameJavaScriptRegEx">^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$</Property>

If not, please add and check whether you are getting the expected error message thereafter.
