Description of problem: When I try to create a new Compliance Policy with a space in its name, the Satellite web UI will accept the policy's name but on trying to move to the next step, it reports the name is invalid.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Satellite web UI version 6.1.3.

How reproducible: Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login to the Satellite Web UI.
2. Navigate Hosts > Policies.
3. Click "New Compliance Policy".
4. Enter the text "Test policy" in the 'Name' field and the same in the 'Description' field.
5. Click 'Next'.

Actual results: The label and border of the 'Name' fields becomes read and the text "is invalid" appears to the right of the field.

Expected results: One of the following..

1. Information about which characters are invalid is provided when the "Name" field is active. If the user enters an invalid character, the validation message which appears when the user clicks 'Next' should provide detail about why the name provided is invalid. Simply stating it's invalid does not enable the user to rectify the problem as they don't know what's wrong. An enhancement to this would be to have the validation message appear immediately that the user tries to leave the 'Name' field.
2. The 'Name' field allows the entry of a policy name which includes spaces. I cannot see any reason why space characters are not allowed.

Additional info: The restriction on having spaces in the policy's name appears to be enforced at [1]. Thanks to Ohad Levy for providing this link.
