Jira (PUP-5538) Puppet fails to convert Windows Unicode group or user names to sids

Ethan Brown commented on PUP-5538   Re: Puppet fails to convert Windows Unicode group or user names to sids Ryan Gard for the scenario that you've tested to work as you've expected, you need to set the local codepage to one that has the umlaute character. The behavior that you're seeing is actually correct - prior to the changes, any characters that were not ANSI would result in the catalog to fail to apply at all. Unfortunately when Ruby reads the UTF8 manifest, somewhere along the way, the strings contained in the manifest are translated to the local codepage (this behavior is a separate bug that we've not addressed yet). So for instance, with your manifest, try setting the codepage to 65001 first prior to running via chcp 65001. Thats the local codepage for UTF8 and should behave appropriately. Also, if you had the codepage set to 1252 it should work as well. The other behavior that was fixed in this ticket was the ability to reference users / groups by SIDs (which would be the "workaround"), when the characters in the manifest are not able to be translated to the local codepage. Before this commit, attempting to use this workaround would fail as well. Now it works correctly. I wrote up some additional details about what it was that changed in the commit message at: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/commit/42fceb295c4f37ca99b5d0d283b30970745dfadb I'm going to put back in FR for now - let me know if you have any additional questions.
