cannot modify passphrase #16

Closed gedeon007 closed 5 years ago

Hi,

This iApp is really cool, thank you for your hard work!

I cannot modify the passphrase configured for the UCS using the reconfigure (I get an error message that does not describe what is the problem). Also deleting the Application Service and trying to recreate it with the new password generates the same error.

The problem only exists if I try to use backup schedule frequency. If it is set to disabled, I can modify the passphrase. But if I try to modify the frequency after successful passphrase modification, I get the same error again.

Also tried to delete all application services using this template, even I deleted the template, and the same error occurs when I recreate the whole stuff.

Using template version 3.1.4 and TMOS version 13.1.0.8 (Build 0.0.3).

OK, so now I found the issue. There was a special character ( [ ) in the passphrase that I wanted to change for. That caused the problem. Having @, #, - and % characters does not cause the issue, only that [ character...

Excellent sleuthing! I've been meaning to put together a list of known-okay special characters (or developing a special-character-escaping function). On Tue, Oct 30, 2018 at 01:58 gedeon007 notifications@github.com wrote:

@gedeon007, v3.1.7 now supports most special characters. Check it out if you're interested.
