From Satellite's CLI via ipmitool I can authenticate with a complex password.
Comment 4 Marek Hulan 2023-12-22 14:17:10 UTC 
Based on the logs this look like an issue with freeipmi, could you please try to use impitool as a provider instead? Install the ipmitool, modify the provider in /etc/foreman-proxy/settings.d/bmc.yml and restart the Capsule, then retry.
Comment 5 Marek Hulan 2023-12-22 14:19:45 UTC 
Oh sorry, this comment was meant for another BZ. Indeed here we need to make sure the value is properly passed to the impitool which was confirmed to work well with special characters.
Comment 6 Brad Buckingham 2024-02-11 20:37:14 UTC
