Setting user password in repo init config

[vjleo94]

Hi,

Could you please let me know how to set user password with some special characters in repo init config json?

I am able to set a plain text password like "test123", how ever not able to set something with "@|$!". 

Also, could you please let me know if its possible to mention encoded password in the config?

Example below.

create user test with password {password}

Best regards,

@vjleo94 i haven't tested it but can you try something like this 

create user test with password {UTF-8} {password}

If there is any other encoding format that you want to add , you can replace the above with that.

# the o.a.s.jcr.repoinit module only supports plain text
# ones, see SLING-6219
create user userD with password {SHA-256}dc460da4ad72c
create user userE with password {someEncoding} afdgwdsdf

create user one_with-more-chars.ok:/123456 with password {encoding_with.ok-:/12345} pw-with.ok-:/13456

create user userF with path /thePathF
create user userG with path /thePathG with password {theEncoding} userGpwd

Hi @arunpatidar ,

Followed the same article and I did try encoding with the mentioned syntax. But, it did not work for me.

Here as we can see the below is mentioned, So not sure if this is really the right syntax. 

"# Although the following syntax is valid for encrpyted passwords,
# the o.a.s.jcr.repoinit module only supports plain text"

Hi @vjleo94 

I think, it supports only plain text password : https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-6219
