[Kolab-devel] [issue919] kolab server has problems with some characters in passwords

[Bernhard Herzog]

New submission from Bernhard Herzog <bh at intevation.de>:

I'm testing how well kolab copes with non-alphanumeric characters in passwords.

The first place I encuntered where it doesn't deal correctly with them is
kolab_bootstrap:

Please choose a manager password [+ifBsTqIeLTe88Q2]: !"$a%#&/)(}{=?'~+|*^_-\t.<;>:
 bind_pw : !"$a%#&/)(}{=?'~+|*^_-\t.<;>:
sh: -c: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `;'
sh: -c: line 1: `/kolab/sbin/slappasswd -s '!"$a%#&/)(}{=?'~+|*^_-\t.<;>:''
Died at /kolab/etc/kolab/kolab_bootstrap line 88, <STDIN> line 4.

Apparently kolab_boostrap doesn't escape the password when passing it to the shell.
