I just tested a PCI-related password change for a username that is
authenticated against ActiveDirectory when accessing the PF 2.1.0 web
admin interface. If the password contains a special character (or
specifically in this case an exclamation point), the login fails. The
web interface says (in the top left corner) "Invalid sensitive
parameter", and the PF admin_error_log contains:

 

PHP Warning:  ldap_bind() [<a
href='function.ldap-bind'>function.ldap-bind</a>]: Unable to bind to
server: Invalid credentials in /usr/local/pf/html/admin/login.php on
line 144, referer: https://pfence01.bnk.ds.atv:1443/login.php

 

To clarify:

 

1)      Username: joeuser with password: pass123 works

2)      Username: joeuser with password: !Pass123 throws the errors.

 

The error didn't happen with the same username prior to the password
change, so I know that the ldap configuration for referencing
ActiveDirectory is working properly. Any thoughts/fixes/suggestions?
