Host OTP".


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-server-2.2.0-16.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. ipa host-add --random $CLIENT



Actual results: Generates password with '#\...


Expected results: limit the random password characters.


Additional info:
<atolani> mkosek, Hie, I believe we need to have a smart password policy for
random passwords... I got W#W'cu.c\Aa[ as password & I am now unable to escape
quote in this password

<mkosek> atolani: does 'W#W\'cu.c\Aa[' work?
<mkosek> atolani: though you are right, that some of the characters should be
omited from password
<atolani> mkosek, no then you will have a single quote in the end

<atolani> i mean if we allow them & some how escape, we need to school lots of
customers...

<mkosek> atolani: this should work then: W#W\\\'cu.c\\Aa\[     :-)
<mkosek> atolani, shanks: but please create a bug to limit the random password
characters, you are right that it is not user-friendly
