User credentials with xo-cli

henry.lin0u812

I'm new to XO and I like to use xo-cli to script management tasks. I'm having an issue with user authentication when registering with an XO server. My user password contains spaces which is causing xo-cli to error when connecting.

Is there a method to pass a password that contains spaces?

I haven't tried this, but did you try wrapping the password in quotes?

Yes. With the password in quotes, I get the following error.

@henry.lin0u812 I verified that it works correctly for me when using quotes around a password with spaces, so something else is happening on your end. I would verify the username, password and URL.

Humm... could you use the syntax you're using? Here's what I'm using:

xo-cli register --au https://<XO FQDN> user "password"

One thing that just occurred to me, I'm using an LDAP authenticated account. I'll try with a native XO account.

henry.lin0u812

Ok, using a LDAP authenticated user is the problem. It works fine with a native XO account. Is there any way around this?
