Description brucechapman 2009-11-08 14:06:47 UTC 
Some printable ascii characters are not permitted in passwords while other are. Is there some technical reason for this or is it just an arbitrary decision?

if there is a technical reason what is it?

If it is arbitrary then please change it.


The previous web site did at least permit hyphen "-" in passwords which are no longer permitted.

Since Lea doesn't work for Oracle or on Kenai anymore, we might want to reassign this to an actual person that can and might do something to resolve the problem...

I do not know who that person would be...  If I did, these issues would be assigned to them when I committed this comment.
Comment 2 Marian Mirilovic 2011-11-16 09:59:11 UTC 
reassign to default owner ...

marco, I think this is still valid issue ... feel free to close if not, thanks in advance.
Comment 3 Jan Pirek 2011-12-13 07:43:38 UTC 
still valid!

Password must consist of alphanumeric characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9), and ! # $ %% = + | ~ ` : ; , { } < > / * ( ) ' ? " & - . @
