Hello,

I'm working on a web application consuming web services with Axis2. Client 
classes are generated from a WSDL file with the XMLBeans method.
The web services require NTLM authentication, which I set up in my application.

Everything's fine, the application works as expected (able to authenticate, 
able to use services). Except in one case : when the NTLM password contains 
accents, e.g. "myPasswordWithLetter_é". Does someone know about this, is this a 
filed bug for Axis2 (I couldn't find anythind on it so far) ? Are there any 
solutions to bypass it ?

Thanks
Pierre



More detailed information :
1. The services requested are Exchange Web Service ones. Again, it's working 
fine for passwords without accents.

2. My authentication code is :
URL endpoint = new URL(...);
HttpTransportProperties.Authenticator authenticator = new 
HttpTransportProperties.Authenticator();
authenticator.setAuthSchemes(Arrays.asList(HttpTransportProperties.Authenticator.NTLM));
authenticator.setUsername("user");
authenticator.setPassword("myPasswordWithLetter_é");
authenticator.setHost(endpoint.getHost());
authenticator.setPort(endpoint.getPort()!=-1? endpoint.getPort()
                    : endpoint.getProtocol().equalsIgnoreCase("https")? 443 : 
80);
authenticator.setDomain(conf.getAgendaHttpAuthDomain());
stub._getServiceClient().getOptions().setProperty(HTTPConstants.AUTHENTICATE, 
authenticator);

3. The password is showing healthy in Java, no encoding problem.

4. TCPMonitor shows similar behaviours with or without accents in the password 
: 3 POST requests, only the last differing between the expected SOAP response  
or the  "HTTP 401.1 Unauthorized" seen below :
