Description Ncik 2017-10-22 13:15:16 UTC
When trying to authenticate with my Nextcloud instance though GOA, having a £ in the password causes GOA authentication to fail with the following error message:

Error connecting to ownCloud server:
Authentication failed

However, when authenticating through a browser, I can log into my account without problem. 

I am using the en_GB utf8 character set on both my fedora 27 desktop running gnome version 3.26.1 and the Nextcloud Debian 9 server.

   System Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
       VC Keymap: gb
      X11 Layout: gb


Other characters which change between the en_US and en_GB character sets such as "@ seem to work fine so this does not appear to be a locale specific issue.

Comment 2 Martin Zbořil 2018-07-22 15:37:30 UTC

Comment 3 GNOME Infrastructure Team 2021-07-05 10:59:10 UTC
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-online-accounts/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
