I just installed NagVis (1.9.11) and I'm trying to make it work with my also fresh installation of Centreon (19.04).

I run into this very error message

The attribute dbpass in section backend_centreonbroker in main configuration file does not match the correct format. Please review your configuration.

It appears everytime I go into <server_ip>/nagvis without having any other prompts

I narrowed the problem to the characters used in the [backend_centreonbroker] section, in the dbpass= attribute, in the nagvis.ini.php configuration file.

It seems like having a * in my database password makes everything go south, and indeed removing the * makes NagVis working again, but of course the authentication to the centreon_storage database doesn't work.
I've tried escaping with , with the hexadecimal code, the unicode code, single or double quote, and none of them seems to be working.

Changing the database password is not really an option here, any ideas how I could have a * in my database password ?
