[users@httpd] How to use special characters like "^% in a password batch file with -b?

Hello Apache,

  I am trying to automate the creation of passwords but am faced with
  a stump... I cannot use special characters such as " ^ % in the
  passwords as they're ignored...

  I am using the -b command to create these passwords. Is their anyway
  around this issue so to use any and every special symbol the a user
  wants?

  Thank you very much for your time

Not in BasicAuth method, you can try it with NTLM to an NT domain controller
if it helps you.

LDAP also does not support special characters as far as I remember.

All the best,
