Passwords with non-ascii characters in AD fail

Products

• CA Harvest Software Change Manager

Issue/Introduction

We configured harvest with external authentication. Since update to 14.0.2, user authentication fails, when the password contains non ascii characters (e.g. Umlaut).

This problem had previously been addressed by an efix to version 13.0.3.

Environment

Release : CA Harvest SCM 14.0.2 and up

Resolution

The efix previously provided with SCM v13.0.3 was included in V14.0.2. 

Reinstalling SCM v14.0.2 resolved the problem.
