Connect-NetScaler bug

Open thkn-hofa opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

Connect-NetScaler breaks if username or password contains certain characters (e.g.: & (ampersand))

Description

The function 'ConvertTo-JSON', which is used in 'Connect-NetScaler' converts these special characters to unicode escaped characters (e.g.: & = \u0026). This addition to the code will unescape only unicode characters.

Motivation and Context

Cannot log in when certain characters are used in username or password

How Has This Been Tested?

I could not log in with a password containing an ampersand, now I can.
