How to pass specific characters password to ElasticSearch through Sulu/ArticleBundle about elasticsearch-php HOT 5 OPEN

I forgot to mention: I tried with a new Sulu project and an ES 7.17 image and had exactly the same problem.

from elasticsearch-php.

I'm not familiar with Sulu, so I can only try to help. Moreover, we are not supporting anymore 6.x of elasticsearch-php.
That said, did you try to use the double quotation to set the URL?

For instance:

ELASTICSEARCH_HOST="http://elastic:[email protected]:9200"

or

ELASTIC_PASSWORD="toto?"

The ? character is not allowed in the URL so this will be encoded at the end with %3F but the encoding is managed by elasticsearch-php itself.

from elasticsearch-php.

I'm trying with a 7.17 image just to be sure.
If i'm trying

ELASTICSEARCH_HOST="http://elastic:[email protected]:9200"

i got

In ClientBuilder.php line 811:
                                                              
  Could not parse URI: "http://elastic:[email protected]:9200"  

from elasticsearch-php.

@Braskalyne sorry for the late reply. DId you solve this or is still an issue?
I'm wondering, the ELASTIC_PASSWORD that you used in the docker compose is an env variable that you created or something managed by Sulu?
Instead of passing the username:password in the URL you can also use the setBasicAuthentication() function of the ClientBuilder, as follows:

$client = ClientBuilder::create()
   ->setHosts(['127.0.0.1:9200'])
   ->setBasicAuthentication('elastic', 'toto?')
   ->build();

from elasticsearch-php.

In the end, I tested several characters 1 by 1 to determine which would pass through the string and which would break the connection, so as to be able to offer the security team enough characters to make the password secure. Here are the ones I tested:

Work: .!*&~;_-$()
Not working: ?@#^[]{}%.

For example, (Tp3&(..!56xV--_&$ is working
