Extended characters and user names

Note the following considerations for localized Content Cortex accounts.

• With Microsoft Active Directory, Content Platform Engine supports extended characters in user names and passwords for all Latin1, Latin2, Arabic, and double-byte languages
• Content Platform Engine does not support extended (double-byte) characters in LDAP attributes for authentication purposes. These attributes include, but are not limited to, such items as cn (common name), ou (organizational unit), or dc (domain component). ASCII characters are required for these attributes.
• The Content Platform Engine locale must match directory server locale to manage non-ASCII user names correctly.
• AIX®, Linux®, and Linux on System z® systems can support Latin1, Latin2, Arabic, and double-byte user names simultaneously.
