Bug in installation script if password contains >

[mephisto]

I've just tried to upgrade from 10.0.0 to 10.0.1 using the CLI installer. For the "Secure Communication" settings I used a password that contains a ">" - the result was that the installer stopped:

Code: Select all

Configuring Scalix Remote Execution Service...... (|)sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `;'
sh: -c: line 0: `{ /opt/scalix/bin/ommodu sxqueryadmin@mydomain.com -p whatever>; } 2>&1'
Fatal error occured: Msg: An error occurred configuring Web applications -- check the log for errors.
Scalix Installer - cleaning up...
Scalix Installer - stopped.

I'll add a bug indicating this causes a failure. It should not fail, rather tell you that > is an illeagl character as > typically, as I'm sure you're aware, indicates a redirect. Try:

omodu -n "user name/mailnode" -p pass>

and you'll be sitting at

Thanks for the input,

Thanks. I know how the error is caused, but if you enclose the password in the command into two ' then it's not a problem at all. So the character is far from illegal in passwords, it's your implementation that's faulty.
