I'm aware of http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-krb-wg-kerberos-set-passwd-06 which addresses usernames & passwords with special characters (which we germans have plenty of).
Is this still a draft or has an RFC replaced it in the meantime? -- Ralf Hildebrandt Geschäftsbereich IT | Abteilung Netzwerk Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin Campus Benjamin Franklin Hindenburgdamm 30 | D-12203 Berlin Tel. +49 30 450 570 155 | Fax: +49 30 450 570 962 ralf.hildebra...@charite.de | http://www.charite.de
