Hi there,

I'm facing a problem with windows users whose password contains the spanish accented "n" (ñ). Neither the ldap directory or the password sync service complain at all , but the user is unable to auth in 389ds (latest version both 389-ds and windows pass sync). I've browsed the forums and disabled the 7bit-check plugin, but that does not seem to work either.  Here's what I've found in the audit logs (please note the unhashed password entry):

Windows user password: funci0nA

time: 20120508080147

dn: uid=*******************

changetype: modify

replace: userPassword

userPassword: {SSHA}z8Ns6yOIY5N8JiZA7N53DWUCm6QCdBV083dXbA==

-

replace: modifiersName

modifiersName: cn=directory manager

-

replace: modifyTimestamp

modifyTimestamp: 20120508060323Z

-

replace: unhashed#user#password

unhashed#user#password: funci0nA

-

replace: entryusn

entryusn: 203032

However, with accented "n":

Windows user password: cañadelomo

time: 20120508080345

dn: uid=*****************

changetype: modify

replace: userPassword

userPassword: {SSHA}gD/DhJXnFiRsXl2KIooVPaSwG+1K9VjU8yxZ5Q==

-

replace: modifiersName

modifiersName: cn=directory manager

-

replace: modifyTimestamp

modifyTimestamp: 20120508060521Z

-

replace: unhashed#user#password

unhashed#user#password:: Y2HxYWRlbG9tbw==

-

replace: entryusn

entryusn: 203037

-

Why the difference when the spanish char is used, does it trigger something else in the sync process?

Possibly.  Please file a ticket at https://fedorahosted.org/389
Note that
unhashed#user#password:: Y2HxYWRlbG9tbw==
is ca\xf1adelomo - I'm assuming \xf1 is ñ in utf-8 encoding

Regards!
