Hello.

We have a use case with non-domain account on a network device which has special characters # and \\.

apic#fallback\\admin

When a user launches SSH session from BIPS Webconsole the session fails. In PBSM logs it shows the username being used to authenticate to device is \admin . Are there any special characters like [ ] that we need to put the username in so that it is sent as-is. I tried [ ] and “ “ , didn’t work .

It also has other domain accounts linked to the device

Get with support, I think I recall a list of characters that can cause issues.

Thank you ​@Jens Hansen  . I have created a support ticket. For this local account , if I select Account Type as Domain\User in Managed System config . It passes the exact local user name and SSH works. I am checking with support if BIPS can send the same username when Managed System has Account Name format as SAMAccountName.
