Use<br />

of<br />

UTF-8<br />

encoding<br />

with<br />

basic<br />

authentication<br />

is<br />

not<br />

supported<br />

because<br />

the<br />

of<br />

browser<br />

data<br />

<strong>for</strong><br />

multi-byte<br />

logins<br />

is<br />

Prior<br />

to<br />

Version<br />

5.1,<br />

<strong>WebSEAL</strong><br />

did<br />

not<br />

support<br />

multi-byte<br />

BA<br />

logins.<br />

For<br />

Version<br />

5.1,<br />

<strong>WebSEAL</strong>’s<br />

support<br />

<strong>for</strong><br />

handling<br />

multi-byte<br />

data<br />

has<br />

been<br />

converted<br />

by<br />

default<br />

to<br />

use<br />

UTF-8<br />

encoding.<br />

However,<br />

this<br />

change<br />

does<br />

not<br />

affect<br />

the<br />

inconsistent<br />

Thus,<br />

<strong>WebSEAL</strong><br />

continues<br />

to<br />

not<br />

support<br />

multi-byte<br />

BA<br />

Note:<br />

BA<br />

such<br />

as<br />

<strong>for</strong><br />

French,<br />

This<br />

support<br />

is<br />
