Sun Java System Application Server Enterprise Edition 8.2 Release Notes for Microsoft Windows

Failure to Invalidate Semicolon (;) Character in Admin User Name or Password (ID 6473341)

The Application Server Enterprise Edition 8.2 installation does not allow special characters in the admin user name. Domain creation fails if any special characters are used. Note, however, that the admin password can have special characters.

Solution

When upgrading from Application Server 7 to Application Server 8.2, verify that the admin user name does not contain any special characters.
