Description

Cloned from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1194684
Description of problem:

--- LDAP ---
I've setup authentication against a ActiveDirectory with the following attribute mappings:
  • Login Name attribute: sAMAccountName
  • First name attribute: givenName
  • Surname attribute: sn
  • Email address attribute: mail

When a user, organization or location have name containing characters with non ASCII charachters such as å,ä,ö and its assigned to a system which is puppet controlled you'll receive error:

Warning: Unable to fetch my node definition, but the agent run will continue:
Warning: Error 400 on SERVER: invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Failed when searching for node node01.example.com: invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII
Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Red Hat Satellite
Version 6.0.7 © 2014 Red Hat Inc.

How reproducible:
1. Add user, location or organization containing non ascii characters
2. Assign either of them to a puppet controlled system
3. Wait for or kick a puppet run

Actual results:
Warning: Unable to fetch my node definition, but the agent run will continue:
Warning: Error 400 on SERVER: invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Failed when searching for node node01.example.com: invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII
Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run

Expected results:
Successful puppet run

Can you reproduce this on current releases? You're reporting it against a very old version (~1.5).

A fix went in a long time ago to change the Puppet master to run in UTF-8 in a default installation.
