German umlauts in Password

[TortenTheo]

Hello,

 

I have a problem with the VNC password.

Password to be German umlauts ("ß").

If I enter the password is "VNC authentication failed".

Password change is bad it is on about 160 PCs in Germany.

Directly from the androidVNC app or from my source does not matter.

 

Please help me.

 

best regards

TortenTheo

I haven't looked at the code, but this could be an encoding mismatch - the "ß" can be represented as byte 0xDF in ISO 8859-15, the sequence 0xc3 0x9f in UTF-8 Unicode, or various 16- or 32-bit encodings such as "0xdf 0x00". Do you happen to know which variant your servers expect?

You could also try replacing "ß" with "_" in the entered password to see if it does 7-bit truncation.

Due to these various issues, I typically avoid non-ASCII characters in passwords...
