Need a list about known special characters in the password that aren't usable in Websphere
An user wasn't able to log on to a server using Websphere 7.0.0.19 but version 8.0.0.4 worked. The log files contained this error message: "msg="SECJ0118E: Authentication error during authentication for user". or "[LDAP: error code 49 - 80090308: LdapErr: DSID-0C0903A8, comment: AcceptSecurityContext error, data 52e, v1db1 ]"
Version 7.0.0.19 didn't accep "§". Version 8.0.0.x shouldn't work "." My recommendation to change it to ":" worked. So there is a overview about problematic special characters needed. This would reduce the fixing effort. |

I am guessing here - but if your system is configured to use an external LDAP (as it appears to be) - then it sounds like there might a be difference between your WAS 7 and 8 settings for LDAP. You may want to track down LDAP settings on WAS. Try the WAS Help on LDAP and user registry settings

Your guess is right. We use a LDAP and WAS version 7 has a different behaviour than 8. We are able to ask and advise our user which special character can be used or not with John's link. |
