RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Nathan Kinder 2013-12-17 21:28:39 UTC 
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/47363

Considering another ticket #363 - "Passsync/Winsync handles passwords with 8-th bit characters incorrectly", 7-bit checking for userPassword is outdated.

Email conversation:
nhosoi wrote> We are checking userPassword in 7-bit check plugin.  Isn't it a good timing to eliminate userpassword from the default checking list?  I was also thinking to add an upgrade script for that, but customers may not like to see the change made automatically.  So, we could just advertise it is supported now and suggest to delete "userpassword" from the 7-bit checking list, if preferable?

We shouldn't change the config during upgrade, but I think it would be fine to change the default for new instances as of 389-ds-base-1.3.2.

On a fresh install of DS there is no userpassword in pluginargs by default:
$ ldapsearch -h localhost:389 -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w Secret123 -LLL -b 'cn=7-bit check,cn=plugins,cn=config'

$ ldapsearch -h localhost:389 -D "uid=user1,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com" -w 'パスワード' -LLL -b 'dc=example,dc=com'  uid=user1

Bind works with non-ascii userpassword. Marking as VERIFIED.
