Description Zuzana Krejčová 2011-09-16 11:34:20 UTC 
Description of problem:
Both username and password are not recognized if they contain unicode language specific characters like japanese character "ザ" or czech character "ř".


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Version 5.2.0.BRMS.ER3


How reproducible:
I'm using /server/[type]/conf/props/brms-users.properties with mappings: "user=čřž" and "ěščřžýáíé=admin". Neither of those users can log in. "Incorrect username or password." message is shown to the user and 
"ERROR [SecurityServiceImpl] Unable to login.
javax.security.auth.login.FailedLoginException: Password Incorrect/Password Required
	at org.jboss.security.auth.spi.UsernamePasswordLoginModule.login(UsernamePasswordLoginModule.java:252)
	at org.jboss.security.auth.spi.UsersRolesLoginModule.login(UsersRolesLoginModule.java:152)
..." is in the server log.

When using the default authentication mechanism with <server>conf/props/brms-users.properties it is possible to create Unicode user/password mappings using Unicode escape sequences (http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/i18n/text/convertintro.html).

So, for user 'jiříček' with password 'heslíčko', you add this entry

> ji\u0159\u00ed\u010dek=hesl\u00ed\u010dko

Works with Japanese characters as well.

Good to know it can be done. Although, as a customer, I'd really hate to have to do that - search for all the character codes - instead of simply writing what I want.

As a side note - I verified my file's encoding, it is UTF-8. I still think it would be good to look at this issue.
