Support of non-ASCII username/password in KDC of Win2000 serv er

[Tay, William]

Thanks to all who replied.

So what kind of encoding is Microsoft expecting for the KDC? In other words,
what character encoding is the username/password encoded and stored in
Microsoft KDC?

Thanks.

Will

non-ASCII usernames are not supported by Kerberos.  IF it happens to
work, that's great for you.

You can read the IETF drafts and discussion within the working group
of the IETF for the details of the issues involved.

A future version of the Kerberos protocol will specify
interoperability rules for internationalization.  The transition will
be messy.
