GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 789320
Character £ in password for nextcloud authentication fails
Last modified: 2021-07-05 10:59:10 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.
I have the same error, i'm from Germany i use characters like äöü and they seem to fail
I am having same issue with standard latin letters with accents eg: áéíóú etc.
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.
