Description Jessica Hanley 2020-08-14 17:40:48 UTC 
Description of problem:

When passwords containing the percent sign character are included in file "/etc/receptor/rh_656223/receptor.conf", the cloud receptor service fails to run.  This prevents Insights from implementing remediations through Satellite.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Satellite 6.7


How reproducible:

always


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  install the cloud connector using our documentation here:  https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_insights/2020-04/html-single/remediating_issues_across_your_red_hat_satellite_infrastructure_using_red_hat_insights/index#configuring-cloud-connector-on-satellite-server_remediating-satellite
2.  If the password in file "/etc/receptor/rh_656223/receptor.conf" contains a percent sign character, attempting to start the receptor service will result in a status of "failed".

Actual results:

Failure message in the output of "systemctl status receptor@rh_656223" (where "MYPASSWORD" is the customer's password):

'%' must be followed by '%' or '(', found: MYPASSWORD


Expected results:

The service should run successfully.


Additional info:

Resetting the password (and updating the file) to remove the percent signs, then restarting the receptor service, allows the receptor service to run.

This is essentially BZ1868971 described in slightly different words. Anyway, fixing one will fix the other, marking as duplicate.
