Special Characters in Username break login attemt with AD

Hi group,

at the moment I have successfully set up Openfire 3.6.4 with our Active Directory. Unfortunatly a new Member has a special Character in his Username (ü) wich will break the login process.

Does anyone know if the Bug JM-497 is already resolved? Or if my problem is the same as JM-497?

I created a Test-User with username “ümläüte” (wich is display correctly in the Webbackend BTW) and enabled debugging:

2009.10.06 09:33:33 LdapManager: Trying to find a user’s DN based on their username. sAMAccountName: �ml��te, Base DN: OU=“GDH_user”,DC=“ad”,DC=“gdhv”,DC=“de”…

Maybe anyone could help resolving the issue?

Thanks in advance!

After some debugging and testing with other setups I found, that I could log in with a different client. It apears not to be an Openfire Prob lem, but rahter a Problem with the stable version (2.5.8) of Spark.

Switching to the beta-version of spark (2.6.0) resolved the Issue.
