Special characters in password make logging into the system (MS/UI/OL) impossible

[yuriylesyuk]

The problem was identified with this template:

https://github.com/apigee/microsoft/tree/master/apigee-edge-arm-template

Install finishes but sysadmin is not able to login into the Edge UI.

The rootcause is special characters ($!) 'are lost'/distorted in a password while the password literal is passed through CLI parameter/bash/sed.

It's a minor thing, but stings badly anyone who is caught in it, which means practically anyone enterprise who have password policy to avoid simple passwords.
