Subject: [pve-devel] [PATCH common 4/4] pbs client: allow using password that would be auto-encoded as neither ASCII nor UTF-8
Date: Wed,  1 Oct 2025 12:47:13 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251001104729.70314-5-f.ebner@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251001104729.70314-1-f.ebner@proxmox.com>

Using passwords that would be auto-encoded by Perl as either ASCII or
UTF-8 already worked, but other encodings would not, for example
ISO-8859 would result in:
> proxmox-backup-client failed: Error: error building client for
> repository latin@pbs@10.10.100.180:8007:bigone - PBS_PASSWORD
> contains bad characters (500)

The issue only affected PMG, because in PVE, the PBS storage plugin
uses its own implementation of {get,set}_password() which does handle
UTF-8 already since pve-storage commit 5245e04 ("fix #5181: pbs: store
and read passwords as unicode"). Follow that commit to align the
behavior. This is also in preparation to using the PBS Client more
from the storage plugin too.
