[Zope3-dev] possible bug in z.a.password?

[Adam Groszer]

Hello,

Using the current trunk I experienced that using the PAU with a user
folder and users passwords stored with MD5, entering accented
characters as passwords causes an exception. That happens either at
adding the principal or at Z3's stock login form.

I think this is not my fault, but could somebody crosscheck that please?

Traceback from the login form, I entered "éá" as password:
  File "U:\zope\svn_zope34\src\zope\publisher\publish.py", line 130, in publish
    obj = request.traverse(obj)
  File "U:\zope\svn_zope34\src\zope\publisher\browser.py", line 513, in traverse

    ob = super(BrowserRequest, self).traverse(obj)
  File "U:\zope\svn_zope34\src\zope\publisher\http.py", line 448, in traverse
    ob = super(HTTPRequest, self).traverse(obj)
  File "U:\zope\svn_zope34\src\zope\publisher\base.py", line 252, in traverse
    publication.callTraversalHooks(self, obj)
  File "U:\zope\svn_zope34\src\zope\app\publication\zopepublication.py", line 12

    self._maybePlacefullyAuthenticate(request, ob)

    if not internal.checkPassword(credentials["password"]):

    return passwordManager.checkPassword(self.password, password)

    return storedPassword == self.encodePassword(password)

    return md5.new(password).hexdigest()
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 0-1: ordin
