In Sage CRM, user\u2019s password is encrypted both within the system and in the database for maximum security. The System Administrator can change, but not view, a user\u2019s existing password.
\nThere are four restricted\u00a0characters in Sage CRM, you cannot use these characters in the beginning of the users password. These characters are “#<\/strong>“, “^<\/strong>“, “$<\/strong>” and “&<\/strong>“.
\nNew Stuff:<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>Creating SSA field dynamically using Sage CRM .NET API<\/a><\/span>
\nIf any one of these characters is used in the beginning it may lead to issue decrypting a user password and hence result user will not able to access the CRM system. These may affect either eWare DLL or\u00a0the CRM Tomcat webapps.
\nGenerally, in this scenario User will face below issues while login to the Sage CRM.
\n1) You may need to recreate views manually
\n2)\u00a0Could not open connection” \/ “Error creating bean
\nThe following characters are restricted for use as the first character of a password.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Character<\/strong><\/td>\nUsage<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
$<\/td>\nEncrypted string (deprecated)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
#<\/td>\nEncrypted string (deprecated)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
^<\/td>\nOne-way hash. Used\u00a0for user passwords.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
&<\/td>\nEncrypted string. Used for database connection passwords, and other content that needs to be decrypted.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

We can use these characters elsewhere in the password without any issue. Data stored in other\u00a0fields can begin with these characters. Hence Passwords used with CRM, in particular database passwords, should not\u00a0start with these four characters.
\nThis is by design, as some method needs to be used to indicate whether a string is encrypted, and what encryption method is being used.
