Sophos XG Firewall Rest-API authentication with special characters

Sushanth S

Hi Folks,

We are trying to login Sophos XG using Rest-API (python) works fine but when using password with special character getting below error, even tried escaping string in password ``from xml.sax.saxutils import escape``



<Response>\n  <Status code="529">Input request file is Invalid</Status>\n</Response>

import requests

req_xml = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><Request><Login><Username>secure_user</Username><Password>secure_password</Password></Login><GET><Services></Services></GET></Request>'
requests.get("https://<host>:<port>/webconsole/APIController?reqxml=" + req_xml)

    Hey Sushanth,

    I ran into the same issue when setting up some agent authentication suites. One of the vendors we work with has a warning on their setup doc saying that characters #, $, or @ don't work. It's a known issue but they don't link the issue page.

    Try using a password that doesn't include these characters, not all special characters are created equal haha.

    Cheers,

    Robin
