UnicodeEncodeError when calling acquire_token_with_username_password with wstrust

[jiasli]

UnicodeError thrown when you do an az login with a username and password. I was using homebrew on my Mac, and thought it was related, so I

docker run -it mcr.microsoft.com/azure-cli

And got the same error.

bash-5.0# az login -u peter.halliday@walgreens.com -p ************
The command failed with an unexpected error. Here is the traceback:

Investigating in its original issue here

Thanks @rayluo, any chance a new ADAL can be released with the fix Azure/azure-cli#17444 (comment)?

[rayluo]

I think so. Earlier today, I've added this case into MSAL's project board. Stay tuned.
