Directory Console 0.4.2

There's nothing to change in compose.yaml, and the configuration format is unchanged, so going back to 0.4.1 needs no restore. See UPGRADING.

A warning for characters eDirectory refuses

The driver password dialog now warns when a value has an emoji or another character outside Unicode's Basic Multilingual Plane.

• Why: eDirectory refuses these in every password. An eDirectory account cannot have such a password, so a driver signing in to one would fail.
• Still accepted: other connected systems may take the value, so the console sets it anyway.
• Easy to miss otherwise: the field is masked, so the warning is the only sign that such a character was typed or pasted.

Checked on a real engine

0.4.1's authentication password was checked end to end on an Identity Manager 4.8.7 engine. A test driver signed in to eDirectory with a 36-character password set through the console: accents, Greek, CJK, quotes, a backslash, LDAP special characters and a space.

• Exact match: the same password with one letter written in a different but identical-looking form was refused. Nothing along the way changes the value.
• Repair: a value written straight to the directory, which the engine cannot read, was repaired, and the driver then signed in.
