Error description
Specifying an ampersand in a password for the local admin user during installation does not work and requires the password to be reset in the local_admin.xml file. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Begin the installation of Change 5.2 2. When asked to specify the Local Admin User, use a password that contains ? (ampersand). For example: password?123 3. Complete the installation of Change. 4. Start the Change server: ?CHANGE_HOME?/jetty/csctl.sh start 5. Go to the Change Admin Log in Webpage: http://server:port/change/admin 6. Attempt to log in as the Local Admin User. Note Error: Invalid User ID or Password Work Around: 1. Go to the following directory on the server: ?CHANGE_HOME?/jetty/webapps/change/WEB-INF/wsconfig 2. Edit the local_admin.xml file. 3. Change the following line: ?password?xR3fOZlO7bQX4ZOQ/5ujrw==?/password? to: ?password-unencrypted?password?amp;123?/password-unencrypted? Note: ampersand needs to be encoded. To do this, ampersand needs to be followed by amp; 4. Restart Change 5. Log in as the local admin user. Note: Log in should be successful. Other notes: After successful log in, the local admin user can log in to the User interface and change the password to a new password that contains an ampersand successfully. This is not possible directly post installation as the CR Process Package is not installed.
