credentials.properties, special caracters #3

Closed joelthill closed 3 years ago

joelthill commented 3 years ago

Hi,

I am experiencing problems with special caracters (e.g. ?!) in e.g. passwords when using stored "credentials.properties". Access fails on EntityAPI for both options - when creating the file manually and when saving a successful connection. Coded credentials work perfectly. I have tried to quote the values in the credentials file, but that also fails.

any ideas?

cheers Joel

Do you have any "'#" or ";" chars in the password field? or any of '=', ':'

Hi James,

No such special chars. After a series of additional tests however, it seems that my first suspect probably isn't the cause of the problem.

please find below some code that should IMHO always run properly, with the logging output and the credentials.propoerties file following :

client = EntityAPI(username="XPH526", password="XXXXXXXXXX", tenant="AN", server="arcacc-dev.ctie.etat.lu")
logging.info("passed login with explicit credentials")
client.save_config()
logging.info("passed save config")
client = EntityAPI()
logging.info("passed login with stored credentials")

I have just tried your script:

from pyPreservica import *

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

client = EntityAPI(username="xxxxxx@preservica.com", password="XXXXXX", tenant="SALES", server="preview.preservica.com")
logging.info("passed login with explicit credentials")
client.save_config()
logging.info("passed save config")
client = EntityAPI()
logging.info("passed login with stored credentials")
print(client)

and it worked ok here using 1.0.1, it seems to be an issue with the tenancy?

the output was
