User Management: LDAP login fails when password contains special characters

[Ingo Freund]

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.
