  LPS-13035	Cant create user with same screen name as existing community name

I was trying to set up CAS for authentication and LDAP for user information. I set up my LDAP and CAS servers, and I set CAS to import users from LDAP. I was stuck for a day trying to figure out the message

[CASAutoLogin]... Problem accessing LDAP server null

It turns out that my CAS server uses numeric usernames, and my Liferay was not allowed to have numeric screen names. I changed the configuration and it worked, but better error messages would have prevented my frustration. Please add appropriate messages to UserScreenNameException instantiations in UserLocalServiceImpl.validateScreenName(..).

I've the same problem, same massage and creation of numeric screen names.
What do you have changed in order to make it work ?
My configuration is : liferay 6.0.6 / CAS 3.4.5 / Alfresco 3.4.d
