SSO (krb5principalname) problem with special character

Former Member

hello everyone,

We have a probleme dealing with special chacracters in krb5principalname.

Our users from south america and spain can't logon when they characters like ñ in their krb5principalname.

When i use the diagtool to log errors i get for mister Carlos Muñoz:

Couldn't find user by attribute krb5principalname = Carlos.mu??oz @ LA.MYCOMPANY.INTRA.

It has replaced the ñ by ??. I guess it's a codepage issue between our J2EE and Domain controler.

Do you know what kind of settings we are missings??

Any help would be great.

Cheers

Quentin

Thx for the epaper, but it's only for initial set-up.

We have a fully operational SSO system. But i guess need to see where can i specify the codepage between our J2EE and our domain controler.

Anyone ??

good day

Quentin

I don't think you can change codepage. This problem is most likely due to the java implementation of Kerberos protocol which you are using. This is why we don't use the Java Kerberos library, and instead we use Kerberos library installed on operating system adn access this via a JNI. It is well known that Kerberos in Java SDK 1.4.x has many things which are not supported and it is behind when compared with other implementations of the protocol.

Did you already report this to SAP?

It could be either a configuration issue or a software defect.
