Cause: The host based access control part of SSSD treated all its attributes as plain strings Consequence: case-insensitive comparisons of attributes such as host group names would fail in case they contained UTF-8 characters Fix: The SSSD host based access control provider utilizes libunistring for performing string comparisons where applicable Result: SSSD is able to handle UTF-8 strings in host based access control rules

Description Stephen Gallagher 2011-07-28 17:45:24 UTC
Description of problem:
Hosts, hostgroups and other attributes of IPA HBAC rules may have names in non-English UTF-8 languages. We need to support comparisons against these rules.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sssd-1.5.1-43.el6

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
Use extended UTF-8 characters in a hostname or hostgroup in IPA's LDAP.
  
Actual results:
Case-insensitive omparisons fail against UTF-8 characters.

Expected results:
UTF-8 should be handled correctly.
