Special char in confd password

General

Hi
Does confd allow special character in password? if yes is there any way to enable it?
Was trying to modify password of netconf-console using aaa_init.xml and have special character in password.
But saw the following error in confd devel.log
devel-aaa Access rule “any-group/tailf-aaa-authentication” bad - ignoring it
devel-aaa Access rule “any-group/tailf-aaa-user” bad - ignoring it
devel-aaa Access rule “any-group/tailf-webui-user” bad - ignoring it

and not able to login with set passwords.
@cohult Please suggest if any solution possible for this?

Hi,

Please address the “ConfD user community” and not me directly with questions.

See, for example, the NETCONF RFC RFC 6241: Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF).

Seems like a bad rule in your NACM configuration, not a password issue.

When logging in via some client, you may need to provide the password in double quotes " " and avoid using quotes " and backslash \ characters. If you prefer including quotes and backslash characters in your password, you may need to manually escape them.
Example:
"admin\"admin"
