-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: WFLY-6823
URL:
https://issues.redhat.com/browse/WFLY-6823
Project: WildFly
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Security
Reporter: Hynek Švábek
Priority: Major
Doesn't work using non-ASCII chars for username and/or password for BASIC
authentication.
We noticed it when we looked on JIra issue
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBEAP-3603.
We JBoss EAP 7 expects encoded UTF-8 strings in code. But we didn't find any
information about it in specification.
It works with Chrome and Opera, but it doesn't work with Firefox.
Since there is no documentation for this username/password limitation it can affect
customers who want to use non-ASCII credentials.
