Configmgr incorrectly encodes passwords

Environment

LDAP enabled

Description

When you enter a password in the LDAPServer component configuration, it is encrypted and saved in the config file. If the password contains the plus sign, when it gets decrypted the + is replaced with a space. So '++' will decrypt to '- -'

Conclusion

None

Related question -
Is there a way to see what a password should encrypt to? Is this a standard algorithm? We'd like to compare what the env.xml file "should" have...

We're on an older HPCC version (for now).
We're seeing issues with connecting and wondering whether special characters (&, @, ...) might cause problems (as above).

@gleb Can we please target this for 5.4.6 as it impacts RISK migration?

You can use the javascript method encodeURIComponent() to encode the xmlargs.

Ok I see now it's not the YUI forms doing it. The configmgr javascript is building its own form submission, but not properly encoding it.
