Hi,

Just got this error message back from FDS.

"LDAP: error code 19 - The value is not 7-bit clean"

Looks like it was due to the user putting the following character in their password: '§'

What are the constraints on valid characters in passwords?
There is a 7-bit password checking plugin - this plugin rejects passwords that contain characters that use more than 7-bits (i.e. plain old ASCII). It used to be that older authentication systems/operating systems would barf on 8-bit passwords, but I don't think that is the case any longer. You can disable the the 7-bit plugin to allow 8-bit passwords.
Have tried searching but don't see anything documented on the password policy or syntax pages.
It's not really part of the password syntax stuff.
Cheers,
Derek
