The AuthLDAPCharsetConfig directive allows server admins to do charset
conversion of the username passed in the HTTP auth headers.
RFC 2617 does not specify use of encoding non-ASCII usernames in the
{Proxy-},Authorization request headers; mod_authnz_ldap is guessing an
encoding based on any Accept-Language header in the request. Given that
use of non-ASCII in HTTP authz is not specified by RFC, this is:
a) imposing a defacto standard, and
b) setting an false expectation that use of non-ASCII usernames will
actually work with HTTP, and
c) not going to work in practice, as I just had a user complain.
So it seems like a bad idea all round. Am I missing anything?
