[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JS2-555?page=all ]
Thorsten Berger updated JS2-555:
--------------------------------
Attachment: 2nd_patch-utf8-in-username-password(js2-555)--Tomcat55.txt
Unfortunately, Tomcat 5.0 doesn't support setting the character encoding in the
FormAuthenticator Valve. So please forget the first patch. The 2nd now only
supports Tomcat 5.5.
Fixing tomcat 5.x would require decoding the username/password Strings in the
corresponding callback handlers.
> Unable to use Unicode (UTF-8) in user names and passwords

> Key: JS2-555
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JS2-555
> Project: Jetspeed 2
> Type: Bug
> Components: Security
> Versions: 2.1-dev
> Reporter: Thorsten Berger
> Attachments: 2nd_patch-utf8-in-username-password(js2-555)--Tomcat55.txt,
> patch-utf8-in-username-password(js2-555).txt
>
> Currently, it's not possible to use utf-8 characters in usernames and
> passwords.
> In my case, some of our users reported problems with their passwords as they
> used some very common german characters.
> I will attach a patch for Jetspeed2 on Tomcat 5.0 and 5.5. However, I could
> not verify the behaviour with Tomcat 5.0. The patch is working fine with
> Tomcat 5.5.
> The patch solves the problem by:
> - setting UTF-8 as character encoding in LoginProxyServlet (let me know if
> you'd prefer looking up the character encoding in the MediaType of the
> Agent's CapabilityMap)
> - setting UTF-8 as character encoding in tomcat's FormAuthenticator valve
> (configured in jetspeed's context.xml)
> It would be great if this patch could find its way into the next 2.1 release
> ;)
> Regards, Thorsten
