-------------------------------------
Assignee: David Sean Taylor
> Unable to use Unicode (UTF-8) in user names and passwords
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: JS2-555
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JS2-555
> Project: Jetspeed 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Security
> Affects Versions: 2.1-dev
> Reporter: Thorsten Berger
> Assigned To: David Sean Taylor
> Attachments: 2nd_patch-utf8-in-username-password(js2-555)--Tomcat55.txt, patch-utf8-in-username-password(js2-555).txt
>
>
> Currently, it's not possible to use utf-8 characters in usernames and passwords.
> In my case, some of our users reported problems with their passwords as they used some very common german characters.
> I will attach a patch for Jetspeed2 on Tomcat 5.0 and 5.5. However, I could not verify the behaviour with Tomcat 5.0. The patch is working fine with Tomcat 5.5.
> The patch solves the problem by:
> - setting UTF-8 as character encoding in LoginProxyServlet (let me know if you'd prefer looking up the character encoding in the MediaType of the Agent's CapabilityMap)
> - setting UTF-8 as character encoding in tomcat's FormAuthenticator valve (configured in jetspeed's context.xml)
> It would be great if this patch could find its way into the next 2.1 release ;)
> Regards, Thorsten
