Hi, I'm having a problem with authentication against our apache server.
Setup: apache 2.2.13 on windows XP sp3 in httpd.conf <Location /test> AuthName "Test" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile C:/test/passwd Require valid-user </Location> In the passwd file, constructed with the apache htpasswd program on the command line, is a user 'test'. With password 'testtestö' (note the last character, it's a swedish o-with-umlaut) I get repeated queries for the username/password and in the error log [Thu Sep 03 10:28:16 2009] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] user test: authentication failure for "/test": Password Mismatch Other clues for the detectives: * it works if I change the password to 'testtest' * if I shift the authentication over to LDAP a password with an 'ö' in it works ... for the basic case above. However, all this was part of an effort to move our SVN server over to authenticating against LDAP, and that doesn't work, even though the simple case does. In the case of the svn repository I get the error message [Thu Sep 03 13:42:15 2009] [warn] [client 127.0.0.1] [4364] auth_ldap authenticate: user xxx authentication failed; URI /test [ldap_simple_bind_s() to check user credentials failed][Invalid Credentials] [Thu Sep 03 13:42:15 2009] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] user xxx: authentication failure for "/test": Password Mismatch Is this a known bug, or am I doing something wrong?
