- Description
If CN contains any character of; æ,ø,å the login fails with "Invalid password" error.
- Solution
- If the workaround is a long term solution, more testing is needed.
- Workaround
Workaround is to re-add the regex removed as seen here:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/tikiwiki/changeset/31339/trunk/lib/auth/ldap.phpThere is no obivous reason as to why that regex is there, but it solves the problem with the special characters in CN.
