Add a note to readme about which characters to avoid in passwords #59

Closed homebysix closed 7 years ago

homebysix commented 9 years ago

At least one of these characters was causing somebody trouble on Slack earlier today: $*!%

If I get a few minutes later, I may try to figure out which one specifically doesn't work with JSSImporter when contained in the API_PASSWORD value.

Probably $*! All have shell meanings, so if they're adding them incorrectly with defaults write, that could be an issue.

I think they used AutoPkgr to set up the API username/password.

sheagcraig commented 8 years ago

So do you think there's a difference in the way AutoPkgr is setting passwords from how Defaults would set them?

sheagcraig commented 8 years ago

BTW I feel like this is a pretty common issue-how can we make it more resilient?

sheagcraig commented 7 years ago

@homebysix ever figure out what the smoking gun No-No password character was/were/is?

sheagcraig commented 7 years ago

Put in a paragraph about passwords. I think we're covered here. Until someone can figure out what exactly is going wrong.
