Subject: Cannot bind with password with £ sign to AD
Users with a £ sign in their password cannot bind to their DN in active directory when the password contains a £ sign. I think this maybe a Convert::ASN1 bug.

I was not sure how to answer this as I do not know much about AD, so I forwarded it to the perl-ldap mailing list perl-ldap@perl.org. One response was I'd wonder what octets were actually sent over the wire as the bind password. The character set and encoding used for simple passwords is considered a "local matter", so maybe AD is expecting one encoding and his script/Net::LDAP is sending something else? Which I think is a good question. Can you try your script with debug on. call $ldap->debug(15); just before you call bind. Can I also suggest you mail the list as there are probably more AD people there that can help you and determine if it is a bug. Graham.

Thanks for this - as the system showing the problems is in production we've had severe issues with debugging. Only one in 10,000 people can't log in - but thats still 27 people within Pfizer I'll test new version in next week or so, but we only get one bug report every 3 months on average - but I do know a lady who's password failed - so I'll ask if its now ok - cant debug as its under regulatory compliance.
