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,

Vijaya Kumar A

Hi @vjleo94

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

@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.
