----------------------------------------

             Summary: Encoding issue when login with password containing non-ASCII characters
                 Key: GTNPORTAL-3101
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/GTNPORTAL-3101
             Project: GateIn Portal
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
    Affects Versions: 3.6.0.Beta02
            Reporter: Marek Posolda
            Assignee: Marek Posolda
             Fix For: 3.6.0.Final


Steps to reproduce:
- Login as root, Go to http://localhost:8080/portal/g/:organization:management:executive-board/organization/newStaff and register user with password: aaa£aaa
- Logout as root and try to login as new user. Login won't be successful

Reason: Form for saving new user handles usecase correctly and it correctly save password aaa£aaa into DB. Problem seems to be during login as LoginServlet doesn't decode parameters from URL in UTF-8 . It seems that it's using ISO-8859-1 as password is decoded in LoginServlet with value: aaa£aaa

Fix: We should trigger request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8") in LoginServlet to ensure that params will be decoded with UTF-8 and password will be correctly decoded as: aaa£aaa
