Special characters in password

[jhinrichs]

I am running Alfresco Labs 3b with authentication against CentOS Directory Server (LDAP) on CentOS 5.2. User logins in the /alfresco pages works fine, also most users logins in the /share pages. There are few users with the "#" character in their password who cannot login to the /share page, so I think the reason is this character. Is this a known issue where a workaround exists ore are they to change their passwords?

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:

Failed to Login
The remote server may be unavailable or your authentication details have not been recognized.  :cry:

User logins in the Alfresco Web client works fine

Is this a known issue or exists a solution??

Thanks in advance

Are you using proxy server to access your Alfresco Share?

I have the same situation as described in your cases while I am trying to access my SHARE via apache proxy. But when I access it directly http://myserver:8080/share passwords work.

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.

Hi,

This post looks old.

Any news on it?
