Hello,

on a recently deployed machine, user authentication is not working when installing a package via the web interface!
Tested with other accounts in the user's session, everything works fine.
The user is indeed a member of the waptselfservice group.

After some investigation:
A `gpresult /r` confirms the user's membership in the waptselfservice group.
Tested on another machine => Failed.
The machine appears correctly in the console, as does the list of installed software.
Command line:
`wapt-get install` => error 401;
`wapt-get update` => OK.
Version 1.3.13.0

I recently encountered this issue with a computer that lost its connection to the domain.

Otherwise, have you restarted the machine since the group was created?

The WAPT server has been up and running since January, as has the WAPT self-service group. The workstation was installed 10 days ago, so I'd say that's all good.

I can install software via WAPT using any other user's credentials!
During the workstation deployment, I deployed about ten applications via WAPT using my account without any problems.
I'm starting to wonder if it's a character encoding issue because the user's password contains a "€".

I'm going to try rejoining the workstation to the domain.

Well, it's confirmed, it was indeed the € character that was causing the problem!

Bug? Forbidden character?

FYI:
AD 2012R2
WAPT 1.3.13.0 also on a 2012R
