Unable to login with OL2013 and "§" or "$" in a users password

pingo

Hi,

the subject describes the problem. One user with “§” or “$” in his password can not use OL2013 with ActiveSync. Login via WebApp/DeskApp works. Tested the ActiveSync connection via Firefox, he can login. If we set the password to a password with other characters, it also works with OL2013. z-push log when the login with correct credencials but “§/$” in password fails:

19/05/2017 10:55:24 [19699] [WARN] [username] [] /srv/www/htdocs/z-push2/backend/kopano/kopano.php:151 mapi_logon_zarafa(): Unable to setup service for provider (2)
19/05/2017 10:55:24 [19699] [ERROR] [username] [] KopanoBackend->Logon(): login failed with error code: 0xFFFFFFFF80040111
19/05/2017 10:55:24 [19699] [FATAL] [username] [] Exception: (AuthenticationRequiredException) - Access denied. Username or password incorrect
19/05/2017 10:55:24 [19699] [WARN] [username] [] IP: x.x.x.x failed to authenticate user 'username'

I found a similar issue: https://jira.z-hub.io/browse/ZP-1078. But we use Z-Push 2.3.6, thus I think this should be fixed already.

Does OL2013 do some character conversion for the password and can this be fixed in z-push?

This should be fixed. Can you enable WBXML_DEBUG log, try to re-login again and post the output here?

Hi Sebastian,

changing to the password with “§$” after I had a first successful sync with a other password works. It looks like the problem exists only if the user tries to make the initial connection with the strange password…

I could reproduce the issue and found a bug in the charset conversion that is not triggered correctly when doing the OPTIONS request.
I’ve created a ticket and already fixed it: https://jira.z-hub.io/browse/ZP-1221

This fix will be available in Z-Push 2.3.7.

Thanks for reporting! :)

Cheers,
Sebastian

Thanks for the investigation and the fix. I applied the changes to our installation and it works :-)
