Hello,

I have the same problem with Alfresco 3stable with authentication against AD (Ldap). Only the users who use the German characters like " ö , ü, ä or ß "It appears the message:

User logins in the Alfresco Web client works fine

Is this a known issue or exists a solution??

Thanks in advance

I am having the exact same issue with the '#' character in passwords - the passwords work to access /alfresco but not /share. I am also running Alfresco Labs 3b with authentication against LDAP on CentOS 5.2.
