Description

Hi,
I found out that when I authenticate and my home dir containts non-ascii characters (my name), then text file is has malformed values.
Could you take a look?
Thank you
Ivos

home dir: c:\Users\IvoŠmíd
content of oci config file:

[DEFAULT]
fingerprint=xx:xx:44:68:94:d7:94:f0:f1:46:b6:79:5f:xx:xx:xx
key_file=C:\Users\IvoŠmíd\.oci\sessions\DEFAULT\oci_api_key.pem
tenancy=ocid1.tenancy.oc1..aaaaaaafoooooooooooooooobaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar
region=eu-frankfurt-1
security_token_file=C:\Users\IvoŠmíd\.oci\sessions\DEFAULT\token

When I open it in Notepad++ it says ANSI.
And values are malformed to

Research direction

Start by reproducing session authentication on Windows with the non-ASCII home path C:\Users\IvoŠmíd and inspect how the OCI config and session files are written. Done means the generated text files retain correct UTF-8 values and authentication succeeds without malformed paths or contents.
