[SOLVED] OS ZCS 6.0.1 Bulk Provision does not accept Cyrillic display names

[shcherbatyuk]

OS ZCS 6.0.1 @ Ubuntu 8.04 & FireFox 3.5.3

Bulk Provision Wizard does not accept Cyrillic display names "out of the box". As in previewed csv as in imported accounts names show up as unrecognised characters (question marks). The situation does not change regardless source csv file character encoding (Windows 1251, KOI8-R, ISO-8859-5).

Context: ZCS recognised and showed localised interface OK right after installation. Accounts that were created "by hand" display their names correctly.

Any ideas and/or suggestions, please?

Sad news are that attempt to use zmprov to create user accounts with display names in Cyrillic failed as well as abovementioned bulk provisioning zimlet.

I wrote shell script file with zmprov ca ... command and tried to execute it. Iconv was used to convert file using Win 1251, KOI8-r, ISO-8859-5 and UTF8 encodings. Regardless of encoding the result was an account with unrecognised characters in display name.

What would be your advice, please?

Well, solution was found.

The trick is to prepare zmprov commands file like

ca user@Domain 123 displayName 'one two three'
...

iconv that file to utf8

and execute zmprov -f file
