Authentication fails if the password contains the euro "€" character

[tigre-bleu]

CME fails if the password used when authenticating has a "€" character in it with a UnicodeEncodeError exception.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a user with a password containing € character
2. Try to authenticate using CME

To easily test, one could create a random share using impacket-smbserver

Expected behavior
The password is valid so the authentication shall succeed

This looks like an error in the six package that impacket uses.
