[jira] [Comment Edited] (QPIDJMS-169) SASL Plain Mechanism should be enforcing UTF-8 encoding

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPIDJMS-169?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15227915#comment-15227915 ]

Hi Tim,

I am not sure about this change.   The old implementation was platform dependent and certainly wrong, but SASL requires that usernames/passwords are sasl-preped[1] which defines a character mapping.  My reading of the RFCs is that this applies to SASL PLAIN too.

org.apache.qpid.jms.sasl.AbstractScramSHAMechanism#saslPrep is a noddy implementation which side steps most of the requirements by restricting the usernames/passwords to ASCII.  I think org.apache.qpid.jms.sasl.PlainMechanism should at least do the same, or we should switch to a real saslprep algorithm, but the latter should be coordinated across all the components.

> When encoding the user / pass in the SASL plain mechanism we aren't enforcing UTF-8 encoding which is the required encoding.
