Has anybody successfully authenticated to the /admin application, with a user who has 
a password that has extended characters?  (espaņol is what I've been trying - espa(n 
tilde)ol if that doesn't come through the email).

I thought this was a side-effect of my use of the JNDIRealm, but I cannot get it to 
work for me using the MemoryRealm as well.

The problem seems to be the specification of encoding="utf-8" in login.jsp.  If you do 
not set this content type, Tomcat seems to default to "ISO-8859-1".  While I realize 
that this will only work for those who can live with ISO-8859-1 (Latin 1?), it seems 
that UTF-8 isn't working at all.

Note to the first objections I forsee:  I wrote out the tomcat-users file using a 
UTF-8 compatible editor, and the password was for sure stored in my LDAP directory in 
UTF-8 as well.  I also tried all sorts of combinations of encodings while 
authenticating, from hitting alt-164 and alt-0241 on Windows to copy and pasting the 
full UTF-8 encoded multiple character value into the password field.

Anybody get this to work?  I want to see if I'm just doing it wrong before suggesting 
the change of taking the utf-8 declaration out completely.

Thanks,
