Hello @TheGroundZero,
spaces in credential in username are currently not allowed. Therefore, this is not a bug, but the message shown could be improved. I suggest you to open a new issue in the right project greenbone/gvm if you have still any concern.

Closing here since is not a proper openvas-scanner issue.

While definitely not recommended, it is possible to create accounts with spaces in the username (e.g. on Windows systems).

The current configuration of the scanner as such prevents a user from testing systems where a username contains a space (and it is not possible to create a seperate account for testing).

If not a bug, I would request you consider this to be at least a Feature Request.

As a side-note the scanner is not responsible for this task. It could still worth to create a new issue at https://github.com/greenbone/gvm/issues to make the error message at least include the info that an unsupported char is used.
