UnicodeEncodeError in logs

Question
1

Hi,

Has anyone encountered this error before.
UnicodeEncodeError: ‘ascii’ codec can’t encode character u’\xa3’ in position X: ordinal not in range(128)

I can provide the entire stack trace.
The error is occurring during the authentication ‘/validate/check’.
Could this be a bad character in the name, or pin of a user?

Hi Quoc,

are you using the LDAP resolver? We recently fixed some bugs regarding non-ASCII characters in LDAP usernames (#738), but this isn’t part of a release yet.

However, I just had a quick look and there seem to be some remaining problems with non-ASCII characters in OTP PINs as well. I’ll look further into this.

Best Wishes

Friedrich

Hi Quoc again,

just wanted to let you know that we fixed some bugs with non-ASCII characters on the current master, e.g.

  • self-service login / otppin=userstore policy for users with non-ASCII usernames
  • non-ASCII OTP PINs

Maybe these fixes already solve your problem?

Cheers

Friedrich

Hello @fredreichbier

I have not tried the latest content on master. Thank you for letting me know.

I will try out this, and let you know if anything comes up.
