When using the downloadable installer in a terminal (SSH), the postmaster password is specified with spaces in the string. Attempting to log in to iRedAdmin with the same full password fails, but logging in with the part of the password before the first space character is successful.
This is tested with the admin panel iRedAdmin. Probably the password for MariaDB also suffers the same issue.
Note: In the report shown at the end of the installation, the full password with spaces is displayed correctly.
As mentioned in the installation wizard, do not use special chars in password, e.g. #, $. Space should be considered as one of the special chars. :(
Yes, my bad, I checked again and saw that note in the installer. Can this be tagged as a bug or a desired enhancement?
not a bug, so this is kind of solved
