New issue 3256 by walt.jav...@gmail.com: unable to log in (http 500) when
using ldap auth backend + unicode password
http://code.google.com/p/reviewboard/issues/detail?id=3256
What version are you running?
RB 1.7.21
What's the URL of the page containing the problem?
https://reviewboard/account/login
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Configure Review Board with an Active Directory authentication backend
(https://reviewboard/admin/settings/authentication/)
2. In Active Directory (not the RB Active Directory settings, but in the
actual AD info), set up an account with a password that contains a
non-ascii unicode character.
3. Attempt to login to Review Board with the AD account that has a unicode
password.
I will work to see if I can find a more precise and concise repo.
What is the expected output?
I would expect to log in to Review Board successfully.
What do you see instead?
The client sees "500 Server Error".
When I check in the server-side Review Board logs I see the following
traceback:
2014-01-30 15:02:12,208 - DEBUG - - User usern...@ad.mycorp.com is trying
to log in via AD

What operating system are you using? What browser?
The RB server is running on CentOS 6.2 behind apache with mod wsgi.
The client is:
Chromium 30.0.1599.114 Ubuntu 12.04 (30.0.1599.114-0ubuntu0.12.04.3)
I've been able to repro this issue with other browsers as well though, and
believe this isn't related to the client.
Please provide any additional information below.
I have not yet tried having a unicode character in the AD username. Only
the password.
