Keystorepass have certain password requirements

[Alfredo Negrete]

Installing a new certificate and the password has failed due to special characters being part of the password.  Since we have another team providing the certificate along with the password, need to provide them password requirements to avoid having to recreate them.  We have two passwords fails due to having '&' and '<' as part of it.

So trying to figure out what are the Keystorepass password format requirements, as to what's allowed or not?

Hi @Alfredo Negrete 

I think you're bumping up against needing to encode those special characters as XML entities within the confluence.cfg.xml file. It's not a Confluence requirement but an aspect of the XML format.

So, within your <Connector> element, encoding a raw value of "p&ssword<" in keystorePass attribute would look like:

keystorePass="p&ssword<"

Thanks, after doing some research...that's what I've concluded.
