ADauth can't authenticate against AD for user with NON-ASCII-Signs in the password

[didiboo@…]

If user within AD try to authenticate, and don't have strict ASCII-Passwords, authentication fails.

According to: ​http://www.mail-archive.com/python-ldap-dev@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00811.html

The Patch:

Change line 120 in auth.py from:

password = passwd or self.bin_pw

to

password = (passwd or self.bind_pw).encode('utf-8')

Same problem still exists. Tested with most current version of the plugin (v1.0.1, r13570) and Trac 1.0 .

To fix it, I had to change in Line 186​ in auth.py from

user_ldap.simple_bind_s(user_dn, passwd)

to

user_ldap.simple_bind_s(user_dn, passwd.encode('utf-8'))

Did you also apply the patch in comment:description? Since the plugin is unmaintained I'll commit an untested patch if I get confirmation on the fix.
