NimbostratusAPM WebSSO NTLM not supporting unicode characters in passwords
Hello,
Has anyone found a way around the issue that a password containing unicode characters (a-umlaut, u-umlaut, etc.) is garbled and thus rejected when using NTLM WebSSO authentication in APM ...

CumulonimbusHi there,
this topic is quite some days old, but seems to match my issue as well. So I assume it might be the same root cause.
I'm also using a APM policy with SSO, but "only" with HTTP basic. A users password contains the character "§" and the F5 parses this incorrectly to the backend server (resulting in a 401). I sniffered the traffic both with SSO enabled and without.
Without SSO this character will be displayed as "\247" in Wireshark.
With SSO this character will be displayed as "\302\247" in Wireshark.
Any idea how this can be fixed within APM?
Thank you!
Ciao Stefan :)
