Known SunPlex Manager Problems

This section discusses documentation errors you might encounter and steps to correct these problems.

SunPlex Manager

The SunPlex Manager allows you to use a limited character set to increase security. Characters that are not a part of the set are silently filtered out when HTML forms are submitted to the SunPlex Manager server. The following characters are accepted by the SunPlex Manager.

()+,-./0-9:=@A-Z^_a-z{|}~

This filter will potentially cause problems in two areas.

• Password entry for iPlanet services. If the password contains unusual characters, these characters will be stripped out resulting in two problems. Either the resulting password will be under 8 characters and will fail, or the application will be configured with a different password than the user expects.

• Localization. Alternative character sets (for example: accented characters or Asian characters) will not work for input.
