Johnny Miller commented on CASSANDRA-8618:
------------------------------------------
I've had a look at the code and am happy to pick this up. But I have a
functional question around this. The % is used to support interpolation in the
cqlshrc file via the Python SafeConfigParser.
One approach would be to use RawConfigParser for the password field only,
however this would break anyone who was using interpolation on the password
field in the cqlshrc file but would leave the other fields supporting it.
> Password stored in cqlshrc file does not work with % character

> Key: CASSANDRA-8618
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8618
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Johnny Miller
> Priority: Trivial
>
> Passwords stored in the cqlshrc file that contain the % character do not work.
> For example: BD%^r9dSv!z
> The workaround is to escape it with an additional %
> e.g. BD%%^r9dSv!z
> It would be better if this was done automatically rather than having to add
> escape characters to the cqlshrc file.
