passwords with strange characters doesn't work?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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?

Cheers /staffan
