Allowing for special characters

David,

Came across another issue and cannot fined a fix using Magic parser. I was hoping that you would be able to help me out

I am implementing a single sign on from an outside application, Salesforce.com. This sends a web service call to my server, through our DMZ to active directory and responds with a true/false.

Problem is that some users could have special characters in their passwords and it seems that magic parser strips those out. Here is an example

SOAP XML coming in from Service

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

 <soapenv:Body>

  <Authenticate xmlns="urn:authentication.soap.sforce.com">

   <username>me@email.comt</username>

   <password>&amp;#$@#$&amp;*^&amp;</password>

   <sourceIp>255.255.255.0</sourceIp>

  </Authenticate>

 </soapenv:Body>

</soapenv:Envelope>

As you see there are ampersands in the SOAP XML, but it seems they are stripped out.

Here is a print_r after it is processed by your scripts:

<pre>Array

(

    [SOAPENV:ENVELOPE] => 

    [SOAPENV:ENVELOPE-XMLNS:SOAPENV] => http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/

    [SOAPENV:ENVELOPE-XMLNS:XSD] => http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema

    [SOAPENV:ENVELOPE-XMLNS:XSI] => http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance

    [SOAPENV:BODY] => 

    [SOAPENV:BODY/AUTHENTICATE] => 

    [SOAPENV:BODY/AUTHENTICATE-XMLNS] => urn:authentication.soap.sforce.com

    [SOAPENV:BODY/AUTHENTICATE/USERNAME] => me@email.com

    [SOAPENV:BODY/AUTHENTICATE/PASSWORD] => #$@#$*^

    [SOAPENV:BODY/AUTHENTICATE/SOURCEIP] => 255.255.255.0

)

</pre>

Since these passwords are hitting AD, I need to be able to pass them. 

What can I do to correct this?
