An entry has been added to the 2.2.0 changelog:
When trying to change the password for the agent user in the
Dashboard to a password that contained a @ or
other special character, the following error message was
displayed:
An Error Occurred
* U0160 The following characters are invalid in an agent password:
!*'();:@&=+$,/?%#[]

Workaround: Change Role to dba, change password, save changes, then change role back to agent.

Description: When trying to change the password for the agent user in the UI to a password that contains e.g. a '@' (and which works fine for connecting the agent with the dashboard) an error message is shown: An Error Occurred * U0160 The following characters are invalid in an agent password: !*'();:@&=+$,/?%#[] This check is not (no longer) valid. For the user role 'manager' the check is not performed (which is correct). Problem can be seen also in 2.1.0.1093. How to repeat: - on the first setup page use a password that contains special chars like '@' - connect an agent to the dashboard using this pwd - on the dashboard - open: Settings --> Manage Users - select the user with role = 'agent' and click 'edit user' - enter a password that contains a '@' - see "wrong" error message Suggested fix: no longer perform the check
