<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Could you please help me with a Shibboleth problem I have.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The environment used for the SP is a IIS 7.5 in combination with Windows 2008 R2. Attached are the Shibboleth2.xml and the Attribute-map.xml. According to the IdP they are sending out UTF-8.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The problem I’m facing, is that special characters used in the LastName (Achternaam in Dutch) are changed beyond recognition. The following is part of the log fileprintout.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The name received by Shibboleth = <b><span style="color:red">Laméris</span></b>. However it should be Laméris. So somehow along the way the special character ‘<b><span style="color:red">é</span></b>’ is transformed into
‘<b><span style="color:red">é</span></b>’<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">My question, where can I adjust either IIS 7.5 or Shibboleth such that the special characters are used as is.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
