I pulled the fix from:

https://nav.uninett.no/hg/stable/rev/23d774154094

this makes the login with wrong credentials work (before we had an error)

but in case of good credentials the system  still crashes. Debug output

below:

[snip]

   File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/nav/web/ldapauth.py", line 280, in

is_group_member

     result = self.ldap.search_s(group_dn, ldap.SCOPE_BASE, filterstr)

[snip]

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xfc' in position

26: ordinal not in range(128)

This actually looks like the same kind of encoding problem while

verifying your group memberships.

Unicode is hard *sigh*.

I posted this as https://bugs.launchpad.net/nav/+bug/1301794 and will be

pushing a patch within a few minutes. Attempting, for once, due

diligence, I also wrote a regression test for the problem :)
