Web Scenario Passwords - Escaping special characters

[bradturnbough]

NTLM authentication --- Has anyone figured out how to escape passwords with special characters?

I have a password that has a special character in it and it refuses to work, no matter what I try. Any ideas?

I can make it work via the command line / curl, so I know I'm close.

This works from the command line:
export blah="domain\blahblahasswordwith@sign"
curl --ntlm -u "${blah}" http://servername

You might want to try to debug it as suggested here: https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBX-13366

Thanks for the suggestion, Dimir.

I did exactly as you suggested and was able to see the username and password. I copied the username and password from the tail statement into an actual browser session and verified that they are indeed correct.

I still wonder if zabbix is somehow misinterpreting the backslash and/or the "@" when presenting it to be executed.

I'd try to escape the backslash (\\).

Unfortunately, domain\\username also did not work.

Any other ideas?

Have you tried making a login password through host macros?! I have had success using them with domain accounts.
