Thanks. I had that thought too, so I made sure first that I wasn’t using any special characters. There are no non-alphanumeric characters in the password I’m using - no spaces, quotes, emojis, wingdings etc.

You can rule out if that is your issue by temporarily setting the password to just a random string of only alphanumeric [A-Za-z0-9]. In my experience passwords with all kinds of characters will be properly quoted and used by clogin when they are set in {} inside .cloginrc . -andreas On Tue, May 2, 2023 at 10:10 PM Piegorsch, Weylin William <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Anyone know what I’m doing wrong here?
