I'm following the AWS supply chain workshop. I created an EC2 instance and set up a VPC just like the workshop said. Now I'm connected to the EC2 instance using SSH and I've already downloaded the required packages, setup Docker, downloaded fabric-ca-client. My problem is configuring the fabric-ca client.
When I run the command fabric-ca-client enroll with the required params/flags, it retuns the following error: Error: Failed to create default configuration file: Failed to parse URL 'https://$USER:=9_phK63?@$CA_ENDPOINT': parse https://user:password@ca_endpoint: invalid port ":=9_phK63?" after host
Here's the complete command I'm trying to run: fabric-ca-client enroll -u https://$USER\:$PASSWORD@$CA_ENDPOINT --tls.certfiles ~/managedblockchain-tls-chain.pem -M admin-msp -H $HOME
I'm wondering if the ? in the password is causing the problem. If so, where can I change it?

When using passwords with special characters, these need to be URL-encoded. For example, $ equates to %24. As OP mentioned in comments below, there is a Javascript method encodeURIComponent() that can serve this function. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/encodeURIComponent
Please make sure your environment variables are all still correctly set as well:
echo $USER
echo $PASSWORD
echo $CA_ENDPOINT
Your CA endpoint should resolve to something like:
ca.m-XXXXXXXXXXXXX.n-XXXXXXXXXXXXXX.managedblockchain.<AWS_REGION>.amazonaws.com:30002
