Though I do not like latin characters in Usernames, they are perfectly valid in Active Directory.
A customer has a lot of this usernames in his Active Directory and told me that NTLM Auth is not working correctly. So I investigated the Problem and found that in portal/portal-service/src/com/liferay/portal/kernel/util/Validator.java lies the Problem as there is only check for Upper and Lower Case ASCII characters.
Please find attached a patch, which also allows latin characters in usernames. We've tested this in our installation without any problems
