Hi,
I would like to add users with unicode characters in their names (not
in username, but in --surname, and in --given-name). I get the
following error message:
ERROR(<type 'exceptions.UnicodeDecodeError'>): Failed to add user
'testuser': - 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in
position 16:
ordinal not in range(128)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/samba/netcmd/user.py", line
425, in run
smartcard_required=smartcard_required)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/samba/samdb.py", line 490, in
newuser
force_password_change_at_next_login_req)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/samba/samdb.py", line 606, in
setpassword
""" % (user_dn, base64.b64encode(pw).decode('utf-8'))
I tested it on Debian 10, with Samba 4.9.5.
I found some closed bug reports, where occured similar error, and
according to that reports, the problem is python2. Samba 4.10 has full
python3 support, but I don't want to compile Samba from source. Is
there another way I avoid that error?

[Samba] unicode characters in samba-tool user names
Hai, There a few ways to avoid this error. 1) Report is as bug @debian include the bugzilla report. 2) Ask debian to upgrade samba to latest 4.9.x or 4.10.x . Note: The are much more of these "python" 2/3 errors but these are fixed in later samba versions. 3) build samba yourself, (you have 2 says, compile, of re-build-packages ) I can give you the steps on debian, but you might need some of my sources. 4) enable my repo and use these samba packages.

Hi, thank you for your answer. I sent a bug report with reportbug. It sent the report with a local mail address. How can I check, whether the mail really sent, because on the test server, where I sent the report, there is no mailing system set up (I think, reportbug has its own SMTP implementation)? Is the only way to check it on bugs.debin.org regularly?>Hai, > >There a few ways to avoid this error. > >1) Report is as bug @debian include the bugzilla report. > >2) Ask debian to upgrade samba to latest 4.9.x or 4.10.x . > >Note: The are much more of these "python" 2/3 errors but these are fixed in later samba versions. > >3) build samba yourself, (you have 2 says, compile, of re-build-packages ) >I can give you the steps on debian, but you might need some of my sources. > >4) enable my repo and use these samba packages. >( http://apt.van-belle.nl ) > > >Greetz, > >Louis>> -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- >> Van: samba [mailto:samba-bounces at lists.samba.org] Namens >> Pisch Tam?s via samba >> Verzonden: woensdag 26 juni 2019 8:17 >> Aan: samba at lists.samba.org >> Onderwerp: [Samba] unicode characters in samba-tool user names >> >> Hi, >> >> I would like to add users with unicode characters in their names (not >> in username, but in --surname, and in --given-name).
