Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-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.

Pulp Redmine 2771 0 Normal NEW UnicodeEncodeError raised on connecting to a website with non latin-1 characters in credentials 2017-05-22 21:04:09 UTC

Description Roman Plevka 2017-05-22 08:23:02 UTC 
Description of problem:

the only way on how to sync an HTTP-authed repo in katello is to provide the credentials in the URL in a form of:
`http://username:password@domain.com`.

This is causing nectar to fail if any of the username or password contains unicode characters.
e.g.:

```
# hammer --csv repository create --name foo --product-id 1 --organization-id 1 --content-type yum --url "http://%F0%A0%BB%8E%F0%AB%84%B7%F0%A7%B0%A8%E4%97%B2%E6%96%BA%F0%A2%A4%B8%F0%A1%99%8F%E3%9E%8C%ED%9B%BA%EC%A9%A5:%F0%A4%85%AF%F0%A5%91%A2%F0%A2%B3%A4%EA%B5%A9%F0%90%AC%84%F0%A6%B3%94%EC%85%BE%F0%A6%B6%8D%EC%9A%B3%F0%A4%99%A4@rplevka.fedorapeople.org/fakerepo01/"

# hammer -u admin -p changeme repository synchronize --id 1

Based on triage discussion involving PM, ENG, QE and CEE, we are recommending to close this bugzilla as latin-1 is not currently supported.  We are marking it CLOSED:DEFERRED as support will be introduced if/when it is included as part of the upstream.
