Adding a User in either Volto/ClassicUI containing euro-sign fails

[jensens]

I tried this on demo.plone.org.
Login as admin
Go to the control-panel , then users.
Add a new users.
In the popover form add some data and use foobarbaz€ as password.
Save the user.
Next you will get an cryptic error latin-1:

Further tests need to follow. We did not check this in ClassicUI so far. If this is a problem there too, I can move the ticket to CMFPlone.
Could be also in PlonePAS or further down in the rabbit hole.

same is the issue in Classic UI, but the error is a bit more descriptive

traceback:

[rohnsha0]

problem lies at AuthEncoding/compat.py file as it uses latin-1 to encode the string, using utf-8 works simply fine...
https://github.com/zopefoundation/AuthEncoding/blob/c4deec01ec19e86cd7e3db7133a5b4474e661589/src/AuthEncoding/compat.py#L4
need to make a PR there.

I created an issue over there zopefoundation/AuthEncoding#17

[jensens]

This was fixed upstream!
Let's wait closing this here until there is a new Zope and then Plone release containing the fix.

Info: AuthEncoding 6.0 was released and is part of Zope master
