Avoid using " character when creating user passwords #1267

Who: Katharina

Hi all, We have some issues for passwords containing 'special' special characters:

  1. A '"' in your password does not work for wget's '-H'. The wget call passes the password in quotes so the end of the password can not be detected.
  2. A '/' in your password does not work for myproxy-logon. I have no idea why. Can we fix this or shouldn't we allow the use of '/' and '"' in passwords? Thanks, Katharina

Hi Luca, Avoiding the '"' sounds like a good idea. Since the '/' issue seems to appear only for one particular machine I think this one could be allowed. Thanks, Katharina
