[PATCH proxmox v2 1/1] fix #7077: Improve SDN ID validation error messages

Arthur Bied-Charreton
2026-02-06T16:12:17Z

The regexes for verifying SDN (controller)? IDs have implicit `length >=
2` constraints resulting in less-than-ideal error messages in case of
length mismatch.

Add explicit length checks before checking the regexes.
