> Add mode to allow KerberosString's to contain UTF-8 for MSFT KDC interop
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DIRKRB-595
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRKRB-595
> Project: Directory Kerberos
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: changepw
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0-RC1
> Reporter: Griff James
> Attachments: utf8-changes.patch
>
>
> By definition KerberosString's are supposed to be in the range 0x20-0x7F.
> MSFT's kerberos implementation breaks this rule and allows Kerberos strings
> to contain UTF-8 characters for I18n.
> Java's Kerberos implementation has MSFT compatibility mode which is enabled
> by setting the system property "sun.security.krb5.msinterop.kstring" to
> "true". This allows KerberosString's to contain UTF-8.
> The attached patch is a proposed change to add the same support to the
> kerberos-code jar to allow the change password protocol to work for users
> with UTF-8 chars in their principal name.
