## How to deal with the bug until it is fixed
Don't know how to work around it, but it's easy to fix :-) In user.py place the following line first in User.__init__ (line 214 works for me)
{{{
auth_username = auth_username.decode('utf-8')}}}

The data that comes from Apache is utf-8 encoded, while MoinMoin expects User.name to be Unicode (there's a self.name = auth_username in the third block of __init__).

 /!\ That's the correct fix, but at an incorrect place. :) That auth_username param is expected to be unicode, so you can't decode it in general. I'll try a fix outside of User object. -- ThomasWaldmann [[DateTime(2006-10-05T15:49:17Z)]]

Description

(My fix is below). When using basic authentication on Apache, where the username contains a non-ascii character, e.g. Bjørn :-), MoinMoin bombs out with a UnicodeDecode error.

Steps to reproduce

  1. set up basic authentication (in the appropriate directory or location directive in httpd.conf) 

AuthType Basic
AuthName "mywiki"
AuthUserFile /etc/wikiusers
Require valid-user
  1. create a user with funny chars 

/usr/local/apache2/bin/htpasswd -bcs /etc/wikiusers Bjørn password
  1. change wikiconfig.py to use this and autocreate users 

from MoinMoin import http
...
    auth = [http]
    user_autocreate = True

Example

Sorry, no example.
