Keystone ldap tree_dn does not support Chinese

silly question, does the ldap in question work with other application? i don't know the LDAP spec well enough to say if there is a character restriction for DNs, but I'm guessing not.

I'm just given example,I have a demand, need to read the ldap user,but his ldap server ou contains Chinese,
then the above problems.
I modify '/keystone/common/ldap/core.py' ,self.tree_dn = unicode(self.tree_dn,'utf-8'）,solve this problem.
I think it will affect our Chinese users.so I commit this bug, this is not a silly question.

FYI, the person who opened #852536 in the Debian BTS (this bug is a forward of this) uses his own brewed patch like this:

Description: Allows user with special character log on into dashboard

I do think the above patch is strait forward and easy to understand. Comments from the Keystone team welcome.

Are you changing the default encoding like the Thomas mentioned? If so, where in the code are you doing it and what encoding are you changing it to be?

vegezcj: Steve was describing his own question in comment #1 as being silly (not the bug report).

I found a related oslo.config blueprint: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/oslo.config/+spec/values-unicode-support

So in thinking about this I think that a better approach might be to and an 'encoding' param to olso_config.cfg.ConfigParser.__call__ so that we can open that file as that encoding and return text instead of bytes.

Adding olso.config do see if they have had any thoughts about this kind of issue. I'd hate to start littering keystone with even more .decode() calls when that's really a bandaid.

David: Thomas modify method syntax check is failed in the python3.x. I just got in touch with openstack, I think the lack of ability to modify oslo.config blueprint.I tried to change the way you say modify the 'encoding'param in the local openstack environment.
Or, about this problem ,you have any better suggestions.

Automatically unassigning due to inactivity.

Is this still a problem for more modern oslo.config?

This seems to still be a problem at least in keystone in Queens https://bugs.launchpad.net/keystone/+bug/1810441

Still a problem on Stein.

Yes I can confirm this is still an issue where utf-8 sequences like \C3\B6h are present inside the DN. The DN was in my case even base64 encoded

The original issue (Keystone failing to tell oslo.config which encoding to use) still exist in Keystone, see analysis in lp:1933109 . I believe now these two bugs are duplicates.

#6 sounds promising and I couldn't find any Keystone Gerrit review attempting it. Should we give it a try?
