In case you are running against a 6.3 server with your 7.0.01p1 version of Midtier, check SW00250589 ... maybe you are facing that one.
"User with special characters (like äöü) in the password can not login to the AR System with MidTier. Access from usertool is fine." Escalation info: "After further review we have determined this issue to be somewhat more complex to address then initially envisaged, at this time we are unable to offer a timeframe when this issue can be fixed as there are several components in play here that all need to be addressed. In the interim passwords containing only ascii characters will work as expected when logging in via a Midtier 7.0.1 MT into a 6.3 AR Server." Cheers from Germany.
