Thread: BUG: spaces in passwords

pgAdmin III does not appear to handle passwords with spaces in them.

Leading and trailing spaces simply fail to authenticate.

Internal spaces produce the error message: missing '=' after 'xxx' in connection info string

Where 'xxx' is the part of the password after the space.

For reference, I'm using pgAdmin III 1.0.2 on Win2k against PostgreSQL
7.4.1 on sparc-sun-solaris2.9, compiled by GCC gcc (GCC) 3.3

Hi Daniel,

Sorry for the delay in replying. I have been playing with a development
build of pgAdmin, and have been unable to repeat this problem. I can
successfully authenticate with leading and/or trailing spaces in
passwords (as well as one in the middle).

What version are you seeing this issue in?

Regards, Dave.
