Jenkins 2.401.1, SSH Build Agents 2.877.v365f5eb_a_b_eec
I would like to connect a new agent to our Jenkins Master. It uses the paragraph character § in the password and the authentication fails (wrong password). Unfortunately, I am not allowed to change the password.
When I connect manually via ssh from a Linux machine, it asks for the password and accepts it. Without those special characters, the connection would also work from Jenkins. So I assume it's a bug in the plugin.
Unfortunately, it's not possible to use a SSH key instead of a password with this plugin. Would have been a viable alternative.
Update from my side: SSH Build Agents does not have an extra selection for it, but combines both username/password and username/sshkey into one list (a rather long list in my case). I can confirm it works fine using the SSH key instead of a password
