SMB Share with dollar sign in the password

[neuerSpieler]

I tried to add an SMB-share, but my problem is the the password contains "$$". Does anyone as an idea how the type hast to be? The passwords looks similar to "xxxx$$xxxx".

I know the problem regarding dollar-signs in passwords, but for the moment I have no chance to change the password or to use another user.

Thanks in advance

Depending on the context where you're using the password it may need to be in single quotes ('xxxx$$xxxx') or be escaped (xxx\$\$xxx).

Hi @BobhWasatch

This I thought also with escape characters before I tested, they are allowed? Most web forms exclude escape characters due to security.

Thanks

EDIT: @neuerSpieler

did work for you the solution with quotes ('xxxx$$xxxx') or be escaped (xxx\$\$xxx), I tried to simulate without the positive result.

create storage failed: connection check for storage 'testfolder' failed - session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE (500)

Like I said, it depends on the context. It isn't clear to me whether the OP is using a web form or the API or the command line or what.

Hi,
it´s a windows share and I tired
* escaping xxxx\$\$xxxx -> unexpected satus: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED (500)
* single quotes 'xxxx$$xxxx' -> unexpected satus: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED (500)

Schreib dir mal in deutsch, Teste bitte mal mit smbclient, hier ein Link
# https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Samba_Client_smbclient/ , falls das Kommando nicht bekannt ist.
So siehst du, ob das Passwort überhaupt das richtige ist. Bitte berichte.

Problem soveld, my problem was using the password from the icinga2 configuration, there the password has to be used with "xxxx$$xxxx". at Proxmox VE it requires only "xxxx$xxxx"

Thanks for your help
