Bug Description
CUPS in the default configuration fails to let me authenticate as root user when the root password contains german umlauts
To reproduce the bug:
-sudo passwd (set new root password)
-type a password with a german umlaut such as ö or ä
-start a browser and go to http://
-click administrate printers
-in the authentication dialog type user root and your password with the german umlaut
result: authentication fails even when the correct root password was given
