Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 SP11 Administrator's Guide

Entering Multibyte Data

If you want to enter multibyte data on the Server Manager or the Administration Server pages, you need to be aware of the following issues:

File or Directory Names

If a file or directory name is to appear in a URL, it cannot contain 8-bit or multibyte characters.

LDAP Users and Groups

For email addresses, use only those characters permitted in RFC 1700 (ftp://ds.internic.net/rfc/rfc1700.txt). User ID and password information must be stored in ASCII.

To make sure you enter characters in the correct format for users and groups, use a UTF-8 form-capable client (such as Netscape Communicator) to input 8-bit or multibyte data.
