Re: Fwd: General Feedback

Hi,

We are using the Open Pegasus version 2.10 in our application.
When we login to the application, we authenticate the username with the 
cimserver Authentication

In order to support Russian and German users, how can we authenticate 
usernames with special characters ?
Currently any username with special character is not being authenticated 
correctly. It is returned as "unauthorised" though a valid user is present.

Here is an extract of the cimserver.trc and log for a German username - 
Ädministrator

We have changed the Accept-Language header to accept German language and 
I ran this test on a German OS.

I tried adding usernames with special characters using cimauth and 
cimuser applications .It fails with an unknown exception.
Am I missing something ? Any help would be appreciated.
