Does VMware vCenter 5.0 API support special characters (i.e. &) in passwords? Is this documented for version 5.0? If so, please point me to the URL/documentation.
I searched on Google and found the following Knowledge Base article regarding troubleshooting special characters issues in vCenter Server 5.5:
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2061415
VMware reports that the issue is resolved and available at their VMware Downloads site. Also, the workaround is to not use the following special characters:
Non-ASCII characters
Ampersand
Semicolon
Double quotation mark
Single quotation mark
Circumflex
Backslash
Space
Exclamation point
Please advise regarding VMware vCenter 5.0 API and the use of special characters [i.e. & (ampersand)] in passwords.
Thank you.
