Hey there,
I just migrated my testing system to 2.0 from 1.2.
I just tried adding a colleague as an administrator.
His last name is Röhrig so this error appears:
UnicodeEncodeError: ‘ascii’ codec can’t encode character u’\xf6’ in position 7: ordinal not in range(128)
Where can I set which character codes can be used in the system?
Best Regards
Alex
This is a bug. Please provide a full traceback, since I cannot reproduce it - adding someone named ‘Röhrig’ as an admin on my local test instance worked fine.
Looking at the traceback I guess I forgot essential information that this is a LDAP User.

Did you add any custom code modifications to always search external users? The search dialog on the admin management page shouldn’t even allow you to select “users with no indico account”.
Sorry for the misinformation.
I wanted to add him to the Admins and couldn’t find the check for external user so I went and searched for him in the Users section, checked external and then this appeared.
Sorry again
Ah ok, that’s a known problem with the ldap identity provider that it currently fails when you use non-ascii characters: https://github.com/indico/flask-multipass/issues/19
FYI, this is now fixed and the new flask-multipass version will be used in Indico 2.0rc2 (or 2.0 in case we don’t do a rc2 release)
OK thank you i just downloaded the 2.0rc2 and it works now
