# Which Problems Are Solved
- Users were unable to sign in via LDAP when their password contained
special characters (%, #, &), because URI validation rejected valid
credentials #10798
- This occurs specifically when using a custom login implementation for
LDAP authentication during the LDAP user intent flow.
# How the Problems Are Solved
Removed the URI validation from LDAP password handling, allowing all
special characters.
# Additional Changes
- Applied changes in v2 and v2beta LDAP flows.
- Verified other authentication flows remain unaffected.
# Additional Context
- Closes#10798
