    Description

      When trying to authenticate a user who has a special character in their first name (é specifically) via SAML SSO, we see the following screen

      The error in the logs is:

      com.atlassian.plugins.authentication.impl.web.saml.provider.InvalidSamlResponse: Received invalid SAML response: Signature validation failed. SAML Response rejected
      	at com.atlassian.plugins.authentication.impl.web.saml.provider.impl.OneloginJavaSamlProvider.lambda$extractSamlResponse$1(OneloginJavaSamlProvider.java:89)

              ...
      

      Workaround:

      • Make sure file encoding/Locale of the OS is set as UTF-8
      • Pass following parameters to JVM
        CATALINA_OPTS="-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Djavax.servlet.request.encoding=UTF8 ${CATALINA_OPTS}"
