Authentication fails if username contains special characters (umlaut, russian glyph)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: DSY-559
         URL: http://issues.cocoondev.org//browse/DSY-559
     Project: Daisy
        Type: Bug
  Components: Repository - access control  
    Versions: 2.1    
 Environment: Daiy 2.1, Jetty
 Reporter: Andreas Deininger
    Priority: Minor

To reproduce:
Go to the administration area, create a user named "Hänsel" (or "Андрей") and try to log in with that username:
Authentication failed for login "löhrlein" (unknown login, wrong password or unconfirmed registration)

Note:
There was a related issue (DSY-418), which has been closed, but it might shed some light on that issue:

Hmm, there are two strange things about this:
 (1) ..
 (2) how come the authentication still succeeds with \u00E4 in it

\u is the Java unicode escape syntax, but especially for case (2) I'm not sure where the conversion happens (possibly the MySQL driver).

Looks like the authentication actually does not succeed (due to the conversion mentioned).
