iControl password issue

Hi guys im using iControl.jar in a java console app

 

and im having a problem getting my password to work with it.

 

 

my password has alpha chars has a pound symbol:

 

 

 

i'm passing the (hardcoded for now) password in as a string like so:

 

 

 
 String password = "Abcd1"; 
 interfaces.initialize(S_BIGIPPROD_MIT, L_BIGIPPORT, username, password);

 

 

I've recently worked around this problem by using a password with NO symbols like "Abcd1"

 

and that works fine and it logs me in properly with the same code.

 

but I still would like it to accept the symbol or other symbols..

 

 

 

has anyone encountered this issue? if not been able to replicate it?

    We experienced the same issue, but ended up using the same workaround. ie: a password without symbols.

    Hi Patrick,

     

     

    It's on my plate - I ran into the same (or a similar) issue testing an app I wrote for DC about a year ago, so I can recreate. Just haven't gotten to it yet. Next week at the latest.
