>             Project: Directory ApacheDS
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 1.0-RC2
>            Reporter: Emmanuel Lecharny

> While stepping throgh the Bind code base, I saw that the password is compared using its byte[] representation :
> userPassword = ( ( String ) userPassword ).getBytes();
> ...
> credentialsMatch = ArrayUtils.isEquals( creds, userPassword );
> in SimpleAuthenticator class. The problem is that ( ( String ) userPassword ).getBytes() may returns a wrong string if the password contains UTF-8 chars but the local encoding is not UTF-8 (W$ users, mainly, who use ISO-8859-1)
> This line should be : userPassword = StringTools.getBytesUtf8( ( String ) userPassword );
> Of course, the password *must* be contained in a UTF-8 file (server.xml must be declared as UTF-8 encoded)
