I should mention that I used the obfuscation method provided by 
org.apache.manifoldcf.core.system.ManifoldCF.obfuscate(String) and set the 
obfuscated password in the org.apache.manifoldcf.login.password.obfuscated and 
org.apache.manifoldcf.apilogin.password.obfuscated properties of the 
properties.xml file 

 

I can also guarantee you that I used UTF-8 encoding to provide the password to 
the obfuscate method and that testing the deobfuscate method provides the right 
password with UTF-8 chars

Hi Julien,
The properties file is read as utf-8, so as long as you make sure that the 
encoding in your editor is utf-8, it should work.

Many editors default to the Microsoft code page so use something like scite or 
emacs.

Hi,

 

I tried different type of password for the admin UI and it appears that 
passwords containing accentuated characters or special characters do not work. 
Is it “normal” or not ? 

 

Regards,

Julien
