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/o... 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 Picketlink IDM 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
