Description of problem: Putting some characters in searchbox when searching for users (not groups) is throwing 500 error: An unexpected error occured HTTP Error Message: 500 - Internal Server Error Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.2.1-2.fc10.x86_64 How reproducible: Almost every time when specific character is used as search string Steps to Reproduce: 1. Put one character (especially polish diacritics ŁłŃń) in searchbox, select Users (default) 2. Click on "Search" button or hit enter Actual results: An unexpected error occured HTTP Error Message: 500 - Internal Server Error Expected results: User found or no results Additional info: I can't find regular pattern in characters. The more characters I was trying, the more error results I was having. Some character, that previously were perfectly OK, started throwing errors. Looks like memory leak. Apache and ipa_webgui restart didn't help Please let me know if you need more debugging (but keep in mind that this is production system)
IPA v1 doesn't handle non-ASCII character sets very well. We added support in a couple of places but more and more kept appearing. We're addressing this in v2 where we are re-architecting it to handle this better.
I'm going to go ahead and close this as WONTFIX as we aren't planning on addressing this in IPA v1.x
