Description Jürn Brodersen

In univention-config-registry/python/univention/config_registry/misc.py is the function validate_key() which is used when an ucr variable is set.
One part of that function should check if there are umlauts in the key but that doesn't work. It seems a byte encoded string is compared to an unicode encoded string.
I don't see a problem with umlauts in ucr keys?
My suggestion would be to either remove that check from validate_key() or check not only for umlauts but for non ascii characters.

As of now
'''
ucr set ümlaut=foo
ucr set ☃=snowman
'''
works without a warning.
