cfNTAuthenticate with Special Characters

[aehardin]

I have a basic form that authenticates against our domain controller. It works fine when user passwords don't contain special non-standard passwords, but if the password contains special characters such as Å or ¥ and so forth it fails to autheticate the user. How do I fix this problem? Here is the basic cfNTauthenticate code (not much too it):

<cfNTauthenticate domain="ourDomainName" username="#FORM.userLogin#" password="#FORM.userPassword#" result="authresult" listgroups="yes">

You may need to add the appropriate character encoding information with
<cfset setencoding("form","xyz")> and <cfset setencoding("url","xyz")>
for good measure. You may also need to include other character encoding
logic to ensure special, non-ascii characters work from one end to the
other in your application.

The CF documentation and internet has extensive discussions on all the
details.
