[Fedora-directory-users] Windows Sync Not working with AD password = P at ssw0rd ?

[lambam80 at hotmail.com]

Rich, as ever, thanks for your help with what must seem a silly problem.
 
I sent the Email simply to ensure there is a record of this potential problem
in case someone else stumbles upon it :-)
 
We can drop it for now - if I find the time, I'll create a new virtual Active-Directory machine and re-test specifically
with the recommended log level. If I can re-create the problem, I'll log a BUG of course.
 
ldapsearch with an '@' worked fine at the time.
 
 -D "Administrateur" -w p at ssw0rd -h sh...
 
Note: Administrateur -  I ought to have told you the Windows 2003 Server (Active Directory) is using a French locale
(worth noting - might be important):
 
Windows Server 2003 R2
Version 5.2 R2 (numéro 3790.srv03_sp1_rtm.050324-1447: Service Pack
 
The current password (without '@' - yeah, that's my theory also) works fine - it has 
a capital letter and two '9's.
 
Thanks again for your help.
