Crowd 2.0 : Characters in User or Group DN's that will cause problems when using Crowd
This page last changed on Jul 28, 2008 by donna@atlassian.com.
At present, the AbstractEncodingFilter used by Crowd, JIRA and Confluence silently translates certain 'dangerous' characters. The AbstractEncodingFilter exists because Microsoft Word uses some special Unicode characters for text (e.g. curly quotes). Not all fonts on non-Windows systems contain these characters. This causes issues in JIRA and Confluence when users copy and paste text from Word into a page or issue. Users on non-Windows systems will see question marks or other odd characters if their fonts don't have these characters. http://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CORE-100 Unfortunately, these translations obviously cause problems when querying for users or groups in Crowd which contain these characters. http://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CWD-1152 Until we are able to resolve this issue, customers should be aware that user or group DN's that contain the following characters will not work in Crowd: UTF-8
ISO-8859-1
