      Hi,

      my non anonymous user fails to login when setting setup to authenticate users against an active directory, as long as the password of the user contains a special character like "#".
      Changing the password to one without the "#", login succeeds.

      Is this a feature?

      Thank you for replies.

        Check the box to UTF-8 encode the LDAP info and it may work.

          No, didn't help.

          What helped, was rebooting the pfSense.

          Strange solution.
