Description Erik Damrose univentionstaff 2014-02-19 09:54:29 CET
Part of the original issue was still relevant with UCS 3.1. It should at least be checked again.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #20817 +++

Wie aus einem System Review hervorging sind Umlaute in Benuzternamen und Passwörter problematisch bei der Squid-Authentifizierung gegen das LDAP.

Hierzu gibt es bereits einen Thread und einen verlinkten Patch unter:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/squid/msg31827.html

Wie der Squid-Dokumentation zu entnehmen ist, wurde der hierzu eingereichte Patch in Squid 3.2 eingefügt:
http://www.eu.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/auth_param/

Damit lässt sich in der Squid Konfiguration der Parameter
"auth_param basic|digest utf8 on|off" setzen.
Comment 1 Michael Grandjean univentionstaff 2015-05-11 12:52:52 CEST
This is still true for UCS 4.0-1 with basic auth:

> squid/basicauth: yes
> squid/ntlmauth: no
> squid/krb5auth: <empty>

Tested with UCS 4.0-1 errata193, user "ünivention", Win7, IE 11:

> 1431339731.112     14 10.200.30.16 TCP_DENIED/407 3948 GET http://www.google.com/ %fcnivention NONE/- text/html

-> bad encoding

On the other hand, it work's fine with NTLM auth:

> squid/basicauth: no
> squid/ntlmauth: yes
> squid/krb5auth: <empty>

> 1431339893.091   7338 10.200.30.16 TCP_MISS/200 4385 CONNECT www.google.com:443 %c3%bcnivention DIRECT/173.194.113.19 -

-> works

conclusion: umlauts are fine for proxy authentication as long as NTLM auth (or Kerberos) is used. If using basic auth, wrong umlaut encoding breaks the authentication.
Comment 2 Michael Grandjean univentionstaff 2015-05-11 12:58:26 CEST
The original bug report mentioned a patch for Squid 3.2 that should resolve the issue, but it seems as if it was also patched for 3.1 (which UCS 4.0 still relies on): http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/auth_param/

Adding "auth_param basic utf8 on" to the Squid configuration makes authentication also work fine for basic auth:

> squid/basicauth: yes
> squid/ntlmauth: no
> squid/krb5auth: <empty>

> 1431341700.701    578 10.200.30.16 TCP_MISS/301 648 GET http://www.univention.de/ %fcnivention DIRECT/78.47.199.152 text/html

-> The encoding still looks "wrong", but authentication works. Squid translates HTTP iso-latin-1 charset to UTF-8 in the background.
Comment 3 Florian Best univentionstaff 2015-05-11 13:20:26 CEST
It works if the password is send as base64 encoded UTF-8:
printf 'GET http://google.com HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: google.com\r\nProxy-Authorization: Basic /G5pdmVudGlvbjp1bml2ZW50aW9u\r\n\r\n' | nc localhost 3128
→ works

printf 'GET http://google.com HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: google.com\r\nProxy-Authorization: Basic w7xuaXZlbnRpb246dW5pdmVudGlvbg==\r\n\r\n' | nc localhost 3128
→ fails

As we internally store the password as UTF-8 and HTTP is a latin-1 protocol converting it via squid "auth_param basic utf8 on" (comment 2) seems to be correct.
Comment 4 Jürn Brodersen univentionstaff 2018-04-16 16:07:45 CEST
Both chrome and firefox (in the latest version) use utf8 during basic auth. IE and Edge do not...

Setting "auth_param basic utf8 on" breaks firefox and chrome. But fixes IE and Edge.

I guess it would be possible to patch squid to test the password with both encodings.

Tested with UCS 4.3
Comment 5 Jürn Brodersen univentionstaff 2018-04-19 10:42:27 CEST
I wrote a wrapper that tries to login with both encodings.
Does this need to be controlled via a ucr variable?

Comment 6 Erik Damrose univentionstaff 2018-04-19 10:58:17 CEST
As discussed, please add a UCR switch to revert to the old behavior.

43_proxy.05_custom_ACL_snippets_in_squidconf.test fails, has this something todo with this bug/commit?
Comment 10 Erik Damrose univentionstaff 2018-04-26 14:51:34 CEST
I don't think it has: Schlägt fehl seit 139 Builds (Seit #4 ). But lets give the assignee a chance to look at it.
Comment 11 Jürn Brodersen univentionstaff 2018-05-02 14:06:10 CEST
I'm not sure why mail.univention.de:80 is not reachable/slow? from jenkins. Port 80 is now redirected to a local server (21 and 443 were already redirected).

I had to make a small fix in "ucs-test/univention/testing/network.py"
revert_network_settings iterates over self.cleanup_rules which is modified during iteration -> not all rules were removed.

Test was still failing. I removed any need for an outside connection from the test.
