Passwords containing '\'

Mon Jan 26, 2015 3:27 pm

Tested with:

WS-24-400A
1.1.0rc13

It would appear that the new login page doesn't like passwords with a backslash '\' character.


Login through SSH works as expected.

I will pass this on to Eric, do you normally use backslashes as password characters?

This happened in 1.1.0 because of the new web based login, it works fine in 1.0.10 and below. Will be fixed in the next release of 1.1.0.

Thanks :thumbsup:

I wouldn't say i normally use a slash, but this switch did have one and after the upgrade I wasn't able to login via the webui.
