Section Access: allowed characters

[#1]

Good day,

Our section access is based on NT logins.

Normally this works ok, but when usernames have special symbols, we're stuck.

ok:        Youssef

nok:      Odé

We tried with ODE and ODÉ, but neither works.

Any idea how to handle this?

Tnx, karel

That's weird, because AD ignores diacritic marks (this is by design, you cannot define both AndréLeroy and AndreLeroy as AD Logon Names because they are considered identical)

At least ODE should work. Maybe this is a genuine QV problem?

BTW where does you SA data originate? In an external file perhaps? Then this might help: Re: Hidden special character causing error in Section Access?

Tnx Peter,

Changing load to (txt, utf8, embedded labels, delimiter is '\t', msq); solved the problem indeed.
