I was doing some testing on generating random passwords, and emailing an encrypted link to the user.
I've done this before, but this was a new system and I was doing rigorous testing.
All of a sudden, 2 of 3 links would not login.
I used this: RegularUser.PasswordGenerated = GENERATE_PWD(8,15,2,3,2)
to gen the PW
You can see from this Tomcat log, that the password was cut off after the Pipe symbol (or before the &)
and thus would not allow login.
I ALMOST released this for use tomorrow and I had already sent 10+ emails that worked fine.
Some combination of chars broke the incoming parse.
I just set the 5th parm to 0 for No Special Characters - someone's not gonna hack gibberish anyway, regardless of if it has special characters or not.
buyer beware
