Cloud name validation regex and error message inconsistent

[lfielke]

When trying to log into at https://cspote.neustar.biz/onexus/cloudPage an error message is shown if an "invalid" cloud name is entered:

Cloudname should begin with '=' , it should not have any spaces or '*' and it should not end with a '.'

The validation regex (net.respectnetwork.csp.application.manager.RegistrationManager#CloudNameRegEx) is inconsistent with these rules. Eg:

• =entrée arguably should be valid according to the error message but doesn't pass the regex
• =mc-hammer passes the validation regex, but - are not mentioned in the message

I'm not sure what the actual validation rules are, but it doesn't look very pretty at the moment.

Also the error message has a space before the first comma, which is probably a typo.

You are right. I didn't want to put the whole blurb of what makes a valid
cloudname. But, that makes the check and the error text inconsistent. So,
I've added the appropriate error message.
Thanks,
