[GitHub] [couchdb] wohali opened a new issue #2543: Actually validate admin username/password in Windows installer

wohali opened a new issue #2543: Actually validate admin username/password in Windows installer
URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/2543
 
 
   ## Summary
   
   The new CouchDB 3.0 Windows installer now prompts for an admin username and password at install time. Due to #2188 CouchDB won't handle usernames or passwords with `=` in them. The installer doesn't prevent this.
   
   ## Desired Behaviour
   
   Actually detect that this occurs during installer prompt time and don't allow to progress if `=` is found in username or password.
   
   ## Possible Solution
   
   Use the StringTools WiX extension from https://github.com/dblock/msiext (EPL 1.0) to check. It isn't hard but I ran out of time before the 3.0 installer had to ship.
   
   ## Additional context
   
   It'd prevent surprises in a pretty small number of cases.
