Load and Dump CLI Commands Fail When Password Contains Non-URL Special Characters

Oracle ILOM Firmware Release: 3.2.9.x

Applies to: Load and dump CLI prompt: "Enter remote user password".

Issue: The load and dump commands fail for the following Oracle ILOM CLI targets upon passing a password containing non-URL special characters.

  • /SP/config

  • /System/bios/config

  • /SP/services/ssh/keys

  • /SP/services/https

Workaround: Choose one of the following workarounds to resolve this issue:

  • Perform these actions using the equivalent functionality in the Oracle ILOM web interface.

    -or-

  • In the Oracle ILOM CLI, encode the remote user password when specifying the destination URL.

    For example, if your password is my_pwd, the encoded password in a dump command URL would look like this:

    dump -destination http://username:my%3fpwd@hostname:/path/file

    where: username is the user name for the target host; my%3fpwd is an example encoded password for the target host; hostname is the name of the target host, path is the location to store the file on the target host; and file is the name of the file being transferred.

    -or-

  • Change the user password on the remote host to an acceptable URL password.
