Remote inventory doesn't work if the password contains special characters.

Bug reporting acknowledgment

Yes, I read it

Describe the bug

Following the remote inventory manual:
"https://glpi-agent.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tasks/remote-inventory.html"

In the section of adding the server to be analyzed: "glpi-remote add ssh://admin:pass@192.168.43.237"

The special character breaks the command. If added via toolbox, it even makes the remote web inaccessible until you delete the record with that password.

The logs show different things depending on the special character used.

To reproduce

In the section of adding the server to be analyzed: "glpi-remote add ssh://admin:p@$s@192.168.43.237"

Adding quotes doesn't change anything.

Expected behavior

The expected behavior would be for it to enter the record without interpreting the characters in a special way.

Doing a normal SSH works fine.

Hi @AlexTR85

in your example, you're using @ and $ chars. If the problem only concerns the @ char, we still have a related issue opened here: #582
So do you also have the issue when only $ char is used ?

As a work-around, you still may setup SSH public-key based accesses.

p@$s is an example, now I have problems with "["

Okay, I'll try the workaround, thanks

Does it work if you use the URL encoded string corresponding to your password, e.g. glpi-remote add ssh://admin:p%40%24s@192.168.43.237 instead of glpi-remote add ssh://admin:p@$s@192.168.43.237 ?

no, encoded not working: [error] [libssh2] Can't authenticate on 10.x.x.x remote host
