Non-ASCII Passwords Converted to UTF-8

           Summary: Non-ASCII Passwords Converted to UTF-8
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.0.6 Final
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Other
         Component: Unknown
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Non-ASCII passwords, in both forms and basic interfaces, are converted to UTF-8 
bytes with each UTF-8 byte in a separate Unicode character in the password 
string. We are using a custom realm, but we expect this behaviour would be 
consistent across all the realms. A logical implementation would be to map the 
UTF-8 character to the equivalent Unicode character before presenting the 
Unicode password String in the interface.

This is similar to Tomcat 5 bug 29091.
