This also allow us to use PG's built in string escape method so passwords can now contain all manner of special characters. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1267698 gems/pending/appliance_console/internal_database_configuration.rb | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) Verified in 5.5.0.11 with password " !!££%%&&(("

Created attachment 1078752 [details] Screenshot showing result of password containing spaces. Description of problem: When configuring the CFME appliance with an internal database with a password, passwords which contain non-alphanum characters ([^a-zA-Z0-9]) may cause DB configuration to fail. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Verified on CFME 5.3.4 for VMware, but may affect other releases. How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Deploy appliance 2. In the console, select option 8 to configure the DB. 3. Configure an internal DB with the following password content (without the quotes) "a passphrase with spaces" Actual results: DB fails to configure, reporting the following postgres error: role "root" does not exist. Expected results: Option 1: The DB is configured successfully. Option 2: Alternatively, if "special" characters are not allowed in the password, an input validation error should be reported before attempting to configure the DB. Additional info: Screenshot attached which shows the error.
