Hi Zack,
We can't "mitigate" special characters because they're intercepted by the shell (basically, bash removed your $) before the adduser program is even started... Basic command line stuff :-)
Kind regards, Tom

I wanted to say no, but after thinking about it yes. I set the initial password to Abc123$ and it was unquoted. Removed the user from the database and recreated with a simpler password and it worked just fine. I'm not sure if this is due to the software or if it is part of the docker image that I used to deploy the software, but it did not come with a default user like the documentation I found said it should
Could the adduser.php functions be changed to migitate the issue of an unquoted special character? This could save others from having the same frustrations in the future.
From what I can see, the software is not open source, otherwise I would attempt to create a pull request for the changes if I could.
Thanks for the help! Zack _______________________________________________ observium mailing list -- observium@lists.observium.org To unsubscribe send an email to observium-leave@lists.observium.org
