This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #1661055

I am copying this bug because: to track fix for RHEL8.



Description of problem:

sssd fails GPO-based access because it cannot parse GPT.INI retrieved from AD.

It seems to be the same issue as https://pagure.io/SSSD/sssd/issue/3105.
I think that problems also occur in locales of other multi-byte characters.


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

  - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6
  - sssd-1.16.2-13.el7

How reproducible:

  Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Set the GPO-based access to AD has setup with Japanese language

  https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2427851

2. Connect to host with ssh

  $ ssh testuser001@ssscli
  testuser001@ssscli's password: 
  Connection closed by ssscli port 22


Actual results:

  The user configured with GPO cannot be logged in.

Expected results:

  The parsing error doesn't occur and GPO-based access works as expected.
