Public bug reported:

Hello,

I'm running Ubuntu server 10.04 AMD64 with libapache2-mod-auth-mysql 
(4.3.9-12ubuntu1).
Encryption is set to PHP_MD5.

Accounts passwors are md5 encoded using PHP and stored in a mysql database 
(5.1.63-0ubuntu0.10.04.1).
The database is in UTF-8 (utf8_general_ci) so the mysql connection.

If, a password doesn't contain any special caracter (accentued one : eg. àéèùïë 
...), auth will work fine.
It it contain one or more, it doesn't work (auth is refused).

I tested the auth using PHP and MD5, but it seems that auth-mysql
PHP_MD5 either doesn't like special chars and/or utf-8.

I can't upgrade this server to precise yet so I don't know if it works
under Ubuntu 12.04 but looking at the changelog, it shouldn't work as
well.

Is there a way to fix it ?

Regards,

Guillaume
