https://www.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/auth/ldap_edit_user.py

---------------------------+-----------------------
 The form available via

     https://www.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/auth/ldap_edit_user.py

 has certain requirements on the input that are not clearly stated on the
 page itself.

 Please add something like "Please use only ASCII characters here!" to the
 fileds "Full name" and "Surname".

 The problem is that if non ASCII characters are used, the following error
 message is displayed and the edit operation fails:
