[Kolab-devel] [issue1445] Possibility to check passwords as latin-1 instead of uft-8 for umlauts.

[Bernhard Reiter]

New submission from Bernhard Reiter <bernhard at intevation.de>:

In an integrated Kolab Server (2.0.4),   
a customer uses a hash where the contents   
of the password is in latin-1 encoding.   
Thus password with umlauts do not work.  
  
First step to verify this would be a simple patch to the webadmin  
interface which encodes the password to latin-1 instead of utf-8  
before checking it. This way we can prove the theory.  
This step is kkc.  
  
For the mid term it might be interesting to make the encoding 
used configurable to be better integratable with other applications 
that have more limits, but this is subject to debate.
