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.
