Only 7 bit chars are accepted for userpassword in FDS. I disabled the "enforce clean 7 bits attribute value" for userPassword attribute in the "7 bits plugin" of my DS with the IDM Console. Now Unicodes password are accepted by FDS and passsync do not fail. ldapsearch comand line accept unicode password, but some applications (Thunderbird) do not accept unicode password !!!! Have you a solution for me ? Can i enfore 7 bits clean into Windows server 2003 ???? regards Hugo Etievant a écrit : <blockquote cite="mid:49B8E6E6.4090508@inrp.fr" type="cite">hello, Step 1 : A have create a replication agreement betwen a FDS (DS 1.1.3 on Fedora 8) server and a Windows 2003 Server (Active Directory).
