Issue with KSSHAskPass #128

Closed beatussum closed 8 months ago

beatussum commented 3 years ago

I've just realized that keychain does work anymore on my side. Indeed, when I call it and the KSSHAskPass window opens, the latter loops displaying a failure message although the password entered is correct. After a few hours of investing, I discovered that ksshaskpass fails when the environment variable LC_ALL is set to C (here).

I've created a new report on the KDE Bugzilla: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=431882.

The issue is that, with LC_ALL=C, KSSHAskPass returns a string encoded in ASCII and therefore forces to use a password containing only ASCII characters.
