Note that the "fix" here, to prevent '"' in passwords, was reverted in a later fix for bug #1072406 . With it, '"' is allowed and should work well.
Your comment #2 seems be wrong. # rhevm-dwh-setup Welcome to ovirt-engine-dwh setup utility In order to proceed the installer must stop the ovirt-engine service Would you like to stop the ovirt-engine service (yes|no): yes Stopping ovirt-engine... [ DONE ] Remote installation is selected. Remote installation selected. Make sure that DBA creates a user and the database in the following fashion: create role <role> with login encrypted password <password>; create database ovirt_engine_history template template0 encoding 'UTF8' lc_collate 'en_US.UTF-8' lc_ctype 'en_US.UTF-8' owner <role>; Database user [engine_history]: remote_history Database password: Password must not contain ["] Database password: Error encountered while installing rhevm-dwh, please consult the log file: /var/log/ovirt-engine/rhevm-dwh-setup-2014_03_21_10_52_52.log [root@testovic ~]# rpm -q rhevm-dwh rhevm-dwh-3.3.2-1.el6ev.noarch
Incorrectly understood the issue, it is about loading engine's DB password, not about rhevm-dwh-setup not accepting '"' or '$' as dwh remote DB password.
ok, rhevm-dwh-3.3.2-1.el6ev.noarch
(In reply to Jiri Belka from comment #4) > Incorrectly understood the issue, it is about loading engine's DB password, > not about rhevm-dwh-setup not accepting '"' or '$' as dwh remote DB password. Indeed. The fix might solve also the issue that we "fixed" by preventing special chars in dwh db user password, but I didn't test that and didn't remove the code forbidding it. You can trivially verify if it's also solved by changing INVALID_PASSWORD_CHARS (around line 70 of dwh-setup) to '' and trying all relevant flows.
