OK. That means you've got the basics set up correctly. >> I have also written own realm. I'd suggest testing with the default UserDatabaseRealm to rule out any issues with your custom Realm. I suspect the issues are elsewhere but I still do this to be sure. >> When I create user with password with czech String "ŽežUlička.1" the >> browser sends correctly this string as: >> >> POST http://localhost:70/myapp/j_security_check HTTP/1.1 >> Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded >> >> j_username=p&j_password=%C5%BDe%C5%BEUli%C4%8Dka.1 The browser is not sending that correctly. The password is UTF-8 encoded but the Content-Type fails to specify the character set used. It it did, Tomcat would treat the password as UTF-8. This is a common failing of browsers and is covered in the FAQ.

Authentication is tricky because the processing happens before any user code runs. The best / only option is to set the characterEncoding attribute for the Authenticator [2] to UTF-8 and hope that the browsers are consistent in their failing to follow the specification and use whatever encoding the page is encoded with.
