APM WebSSO NTLM not supporting unicode characters in passwords
Hello,
Has anyone found a way around the issue that a password containing unicode characters (a-umlaut, u-umlaut, etc.) is garbled and thus rejected when using NTLM WebSSO authentication in APM by back end Windows servers?
Front end authentication with a VPE containing AD Query and AD Auth work fine, just the backed SSO is broken with NTLM.
There is an RFE for it, 398134 but I can only assume that not many non-US users have not had many issues with it as it has not been fixed and is "merely" a request for enhancement ...
All of our users have either a German, French or Italian keyboard thus it is quite normal to have an ü, ö or ä in there passwords. This is causing our help desk serious headaches resetting their passwords.
thanks.
