ZWEAM400E Error initializing SSL Context: 'keystore password was incorrect'

[abend0c4]

If I specify a keystore password containing a dollar sign ($) in zowe-setup-certificates.env and run the zowe-setup-certificates.sh script to create the keystore, then create and start a ZOWE instance then the keystore password is truncated at runtime, which results in error message ZWEAM400E Error initializing SSL Context: 'keystore password was incorrect'

Steps to Reproduce

1. Edit zowe-setup-certificates.env and set the KEYSTORE_PASSWORD environment variable as follows: KEYSTORE_PASSWORD='Bg67$cynhw89'

2. Run the zowe-setup-certificates.sh script to create the keystore

3. Note that the ../keystore/zowe-certificates.env contains an unquoted value: KEYSTORE_PASSWORD=Bg67$cynhw89

4. Start the ZOWE instance

5. Note that the STDOUT reports the environment variable value (truncated) as: KEYSTORE_PASSWORD=Bg67 ...and message "ZWEAM400E Error initializing SSL Context: 'keystore password was incorrect'" is issued.

Expected behavior I expect to be able to set a keystore password that contains any character (even a $ sign)

Details

• z/OS 2.2
• ZOWE 1.11.0 (convenience build) (ZWES1013I ZSS Server has started. Version '1.11.0+20200423')
• Node.js version node-v12.16.1-os390-s390x

Additional context A workaround is to manually edit ../keystore/zowe-certificates.env and ensure that the KEYSTORE_PASSWORD value is enclosed in single quotation marks.
