Azure ARM Template Special Characters-CodePudding

Is there a way to send a string with special characters to an ARM template custom extension? Currently having an issue with only receiving a portion of the password ex password fkdl2#dlsj I only see fkdl2 of the password being sent to the shell script. The rest of the characters are being stripped off.

 "properties":{
   "publisher":"Microsoft.Azure.Extensions",
   "type":"CustomScript",
   "typeHandlerVersion":"2.1",
   "autoUpgradeMinorVersion":true,
   "settings":{
      "skipDos2Unix":false,
      "timestamp":123456789
   },
   "protectedSettings":{
      "commandToExecute":"[concat('sh /example/dir/setup.sh ', parameters('password')]"
   }
 }

CodePudding user response：

You could use the base64 function when passing the argument:

"commandToExecute":"[concat('sh /example/dir/setup.sh ', base64(parameters('password')))]"

and then decode it inside the setup.sh script
