hi,
i have a problem submitting passwords containing german special characters (Umlaute ä,ü,ö & ß) by using the OpenLDAP Function ldap_simple_bind_s to our Active Directory Server. After investigating the issue it seems as if the password is cut off at the position of the special char, since it is possible to log in a user with his password (without special characters) if i use the correct password and add one of these characters to the end. Example: password for user: test submitted: testö this would succeed
the problem is if a user i.e. enters the password: bäume the submitted password is: b
Is there a fix/workaround for this?
btw: i'm using this in a c program.
Thanks in advance.
