[SSSD-users]UTF8 character in LDAP

[Francis Augusto Medeiros-Logeay]

Hi,

I don’t know if this is an sssd bug or not:

On a RHEL 9 machine, a local user with “ø”, “å” or “æ” in their Full Name gets their name displayed fine on the login window on gnome.

However, users with those characters in their full name that are fetched from LDAP get those characters truncated when displaying on the Lock Screen/login window.

Sending a screenshot. The third user should be “Røys”.

I tested it with other users, and it seems that this happens with base64-encoded UTF8 strings fetched from LDAP.

Is is an SSSD issue? Is there a fix?

Best,

Francis
