I think that better is for userID and passwords don't use national
characters. In Latvia we time after time have similar problems ...

 ISO-8859-1!
 Try it with Firefox, if you already didn't do it.

Re: tomcat ldap authentication problem

2008-02-29 Thread Christian Andersson

we have tried it with the following..

IE6 and 7 on windows
IE6 on linux (using ie4linux and wine)
Firefox 2.0.12 on windows and on linux

all behave the same..

all the tools we have to get information out from the ldap gives us the 
username out in utf-8 correctly so for me it looks like it is stored in 
utf-8 in ldap..


and since now all our system is configured for utf-8 it is strange that 
this 1 part (the jndirealm) looks like it is using iso-8859-1 .-(

Re: tomcat ldap authentication problem

2008-02-29 Thread Christian Andersson
ofcourse, it would be better, but unfourtunally it is not up to me to 
enforce this policy, and we already have a lot of users with those 
character in both username and/or password..


we had the system up and running before but after switching the website 
over from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 it i sno longer working, the strange part 
is though that with every tool I canuse to check what is in the ldap, it 
say it is in utf-8


and we cannot go back o ISO-8859-1 either..

looking at the logfile for ldap (when turning up the debug level) it 
almost looks like jndirealm is using iso-8859-1 as encoding since in the
