Hello, I am trying to make Shibboleth authentification work for an application of mine. For this I am using the Apache2 Shibboleth module (my server sits behind Apache). Everything works fine, but for one thing. The authentification data is passed in the headers section in UTF-8 format (probably). What I receive using (CDR (ASSOC :SN (HEADERS-IN*))) in my server is wrong, namely my lastname which is correctly spelled "Neuß" (a German sharp-s) is read as "Neuß" which looks as if UTF-8 is read as LATIN-1. I don't quite know how this arises. I have SB-IMPL::*DEFAULT-EXTERNAL-FORMAT* = :UTF-8 HUNCHENTOOT:*HUNCHENTOOT-DEFAULT-EXTERNAL-FORMAT* = #<FLEXI-STREAMS::FLEXI-UTF-8-FORMAT (:UTF-8 :EOL-STYLE :LF) {B1595E9}> Can anyone give me a hint what I could try? Thank you, Nicolas P.S.: I am using Hunchentoot-1.1.0/SBCL 1.0.18 on this machine.
