** [tickets:#7787] Ldap error when logging in with unicode in username field**
**Status:** open
**Milestone:** unreleased
**Created:** Thu Oct 30, 2014 07:54 PM UTC by Dave Brondsema
**Last Updated:** Thu Oct 30, 2014 07:54 PM UTC
**Owner:** nobody
Since most LDAP systems aren't going to allow unicode usernames, I think its
best to catch this situation ahead of time and provide a relevant error
message, so the user can fix their input. Note that the unicode char may even
be a hidden left-to-right marker for example, so an explicit message about
unicode or non-ascii may be helpful.
