Jabber for Windows 11.5 and Unity Connection - german special characters in password

[Rene Mueller]

We are running Jabber for Windows 11.5.2 and using Unity Connection 10.5.2. Whenever a user uses a password with german special characters (ä,ö,ü), Jabber is not able to connect to Unity Connection. Everything else works fine. We also are having this issue in 10.6 releases. In the Voicemail Tab it says that username or password is wrong. We can reproduce the issue...

btw. it is also not working in the current jabber for iOS release!

Does somebody know if this is a bug or experiencingthe same problem?

Found plenty of problems with german characters, in CUCM, Jabber and IM&P, you want to avoid them.

Hey Jaime, can you please tell me a bit more about Bug CSCub62789? What does the password from a user has to to with a jabber status update?

[Jaime Valencia · Accepted solution]

I'm merely making the point that using special German characters causes a lot of problems, in lots of places, all over CUCM and IM&P and you should avoid them.
