Web console doesn't accept passwords with non-ascii characters

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      Firefox, Safari and IE use ISO-8859_1 character encoding when generating authentication header. If the credentials contain umlauts (eg. ü), the decoded string on the server is incorrect and authentication fails.

      This affects web console authentication when LDAP is used as credentials store.

      Web console can solve this by using https://issues.jboss.org/browse/UNDERTOW-595 which adds ability for Undertow to use user-agent patterns to choose correct charset during BASIC authentication.

          • Major - To be worked after higher priority work items are addressed. When the severity is high and the effort to change it is low to moderate, this term is chosen. Issues in this category likely have an existing workaround but implementation or execution may be non-trivial.
