Easycom i5_connect with german umlauts

[kfm-hotline]

Hello,

i tried to connect with i5_connect like :

Code: Select all

$username = "TEST";
$password = "töst";
$server = "localhost";

$conn = i5_connect ( $server, $username, $password);
if ($conn) {
echo "connected";
} else {
   print_r( i5_error ());
}


after call the script i got:

Array ( [0] => 23 [1] => 9 [2] => Bad login user or password [3] => [num] => 23 [cat] => 9 [msg] => Bad login user or password [desc] => )

when i change the pw to "test" it works

Systemvalue: QPWDLVL is set to 2

when i login with IBM iSeries Access it works with "töst"

is it not possible to connect with german umlauts ??

Hi, Manuel,

Would you mind trying a test for me?

Does the "töst" password also cause db2_connect('*LOCAL', $username, $password) to fail? Or can you connect to db2 successfully? I ask because the new toolkit uses db2 for connectivity, and I'd like to know if we (new toolkit makers) will succeed with umlauts.

Thanks!

Hello Alan,

i made the test with db2 and it works with "töst".

Manuel, thanks for testing and reporting your results.

To figure out the Easycom password issue you could either contact Zend Support (if you have a support contract) or Aura/Easycom themselves. Perhaps they've fixed this issue already (I don't know).

For what it's worth, I believe the new toolkit doesn't have this problem, because by default the communications are done via native db2.

this problem was fixed in version 4.0.0.17 of Easycom
