RE: Fwd: General Feedback

Hi Vijayalakshmi

We were able to reproduce this issue locally.
There are two bugs you can use to track progress on this issue.

1.      http://bugzilla.openpegasus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9599

2.      http://bugzilla.openpegasus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9598

First authentication failing for this username did not have anything to do with content language.
It was logic within Pegasus code that had problem handling usernames with special characters.
You can use bug no: 9598 on OpenPegasus Bugzilla for changes with regards to this.
You can find more information there.

Also for cimuser and cimauth applications, the expected input is UTF-8 encoded.
You can follow bug no: 9599 on OpenPegasus Bugzilla for progress on this issue.

As for workaround to this problem  with cimuser and cimauth,
You can change the font of command prompt window to Lucida Console
And change code page to 65001 (UTF-8) using command chcp 65001.
And in the command give UTF-8 encoded values of username with special characters.

e.g, for this user "Ädministrator" you can give a command to add
cimuser -a -u  Ã"dministrator -w password

Hi Vijayalakshmi,

We are trying to reproduce this issue locally so that we can help you. Can you tell us the steps to reproduce? What client are you using ? Have you tried using some other client? By client I mean CIMClient, cimcli or wbemexec.

I'm guessing it is on Windows OS since the user is "Administrator".

Considerring that you are building yourself from sources ,
I guess g11n and l18n support in pegasus is done through ICU.
May be you can try with ICU version lesser than 3.6.

Hi Devchandra,

Currently we have not building our code with any ICU version. I do not see the environment variable
PEGASUS_HAS_ICU defined on my system.

Thanks,
Viji

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.
