Github user nlivens commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/1092#issuecomment-158381857 @DaanHoogland, how about the following piece of code then? In this case we are using the <code>getPrefferedCharset()</code> ```java public static String encodePasswordUtf8(String originalPassword) { byte[] passwordBytes = originalPassword.getBytes(StringUtils.getPreferredCharset()); byte[] encodedPasswordBytes = Base64.encodeBase64(passwordBytes); return new String(encodedPasswordBytes, StringUtils.getPreferredCharset()); } public static String decodePasswordUtf8(String encodedPassword) { byte[] encodedPasswordBytes = encodedPassword.getBytes(StringUtils.getPreferredCharset()); byte[] passwordBytes = Base64.decodeBase64(encodedPasswordBytes); return new String(passwordBytes, StringUtils.getPreferredCharset()); } ```
