Enclosing a password which contains special characters with curly braces does not work

I am trying to create a data migration task on AWS in order to migrate data from one RDS instance to another. The instance password for the source endpoint contains special characters (+&;) and by enclosing it with curly braces (as it is suggested in the aws documentation) does not work. I successfully created the target endpoint.

Am I missing something?

Update

When creating an endpoint using aws cli the same issue occurs:

An error occurred (InvalidParameterValueException) when calling the CreateEndpoint operation: 
The parameter Password contains at least one unsupported characters from following list : ;+%

Is there really no way of doing this without changing the password?

Solution

  • There was really no way of doing this without changing the password.
