I was going to post this in Unicode-amp-64-Bit-Applications but then I decided I'd post here.

Today I had a bug ticket cross my desk that "Active Directory Sign in" was failing, on a new install of our DF19.1 product. the newly created test users were failing with "invalid password" at login.

We went a bit nuts with testing and debugging and logging. Eventually I put in a line to write the provided password out to the log file.

Oops. the customers test password was actually

OneFin€Day1992!

Turns out that Microsoft is happy to have unicode characters in their passwords. Not real easy to pass this to Windows in a DF19.1 app. Fortunately the new DF20.0 version is perfectly happy with € signs in the password field.
