The Cloud Services team believes that this bug has been fixed since 2019-12-23 [0]. This authentication problem was caused by a buggy LDAP library integration in OpenStack. We "fixed" the problem for the Wikitech wiki by removing legacy OpenStack integration there. The problem was fixed more correctly for Horizon by backporting a newer python-ldap library which does not have the same unicode handling issues. If you are still unable to authenticate to Horizon, please do open a new Phabricator task giving as many details as you can about the issue and we will try to find a solution.
