From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.2) Gecko/20030708 Description of problem: When registering a machine with rhn_register and an existing rhn account, the following error was produced: ---------------------------------- The server indicated an error: password contains character `+' Error Class Code: 15 Error Class Info: The username contains invalid characters Explanation: An error has occured while processing your request. If this problem persists please enter a bug report <snip> ----------------------------------- There was no error indicated on the rhn website when the password was changed to this value. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhn_register-2.8.27-1.7.2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create an rhn account with a password containing '+' 2. Attempt to register with rhn_register 3. At 'Step 2: Register or Update a User Account' enter the password. 3. On clicking 'next' the error dialog appears. Actual Results: Error dialog containing the message described in 'Description' above. Expected Results: The password was accepted by the 'Account Details' section of rhn website. I would expect either both to reject, or, both to accept, a password with punctuation symbols. Whether '+'s are allowed or not doesn't really matter but the two systems should be consistent. Additional info: Workaround: Use rhn website to change password to a value not containing symbols. Re-run rhn_register on the machine.
