Description Bartek Spyrko-Smietanko 2016-02-25 16:22:05 UTC

Description of problem:
When using a password like 'test123!ü' different browsers generate the BASIC credentials string using different encodings resulting in failed authentication.
This causes issues when using management console with LDAP.

Same issue in Undertow: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/UNDERTOW-595 fixed in https://github.com/spyrkob/undertow/commit/98fe959a4f4cde414c36b268734e22421f170460

Note this issue is to track fixes in httpserver component. The changes to EAP code will be tracked in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1270708

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up LDAP authentication with user admin identified by 'test123!ü'
2. In Firefox go to http://localhost:9990 and try to authenticate
3.

Actual results:
Authentication refused

Expected results:
Authentication successful

Comment 5 Ivo Hradek 2016-08-29 09:02:37 UTC

Verified with EAP 6.4.10.CP.CR2;

--
Note: For browsers that use ISO-8859-1, like Firefox [1], the fix won't work for characters outside of ISO-8859-1 (chinese, japanase, russian etc.).
