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 ยง 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.

The SSH Build Agents plugin only accepts credentials based on username/password. SSH keys are not supported.
As far as I understood, only the Cloudbees SSH agent plugin - which is not available on the Open Source Jenkins - supports SSH keys.
Here's a screenshot of my node configuration:

Can you further explain your statement:
I only use SSH private keys with the Jenkins agents that I connect with SSH. I have agents running Alma Linux 8, CentOS 7, Debian 10, Debian 11, Debian 12, FreeBSD 13, Rocky Linux 9, openSUSE 15.4, Ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu 22.04, Windows 10, and Windows 11.
I don't know how to connect a Jenkins agent using ssh with a password.
Maybe you mean that the SSH private key is protected by a passphrase and that passphrase includes the paragraph character?
