cas 3.3.5 and utf8 passwords

After we upgraded to CAS 3.3.5 users with foreign character passwords failed authentication. Two things were missing:

in /WEB-INF/web.xml I added the following filter:

SetCharacterEncodingFilter
org.springframework.web.filter.CharacterEncodingFilter

    encoding
    UTF-8


    forceEncoding
    true




SetCharacterEncodingFilter
/*

 

And then on top.jsp and casLoginView.jsp I needed to add this line:

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8" %>

And now we're back in business.
