CLI addGroup Group.description support for spaces

[Sebastiano Alighieri]

I've been running the following CLI command

capam_command.bat capam=capam adminUserID=xzxz adminPassword=*** cmdName=addGroup Group.name=Some_name_with_underscores Group.description="Some Text With Spaces surrounded by Quotes" Group.type=target

 When i run that command it's successful, but only sets the description to the first word 'Some' - it seems to disregard the fact that the description argument has a value surrounded by quotes.

<CommandResult>
<cr.itemNumber>0</cr.itemNumber>
<cr.statusCode>400</cr.statusCode>
<cr.statusDescription>Success.</cr.statusDescription>
<cr.result>
      <Group>
      <dynamic>true</dynamic>
      <description>Some</description>
      <filters>[]</filters>
      <name>Some_name_with_underscores</name>
      <permissions>[]</permissions>
      <type>target</type>
      <readOnly>false</readOnly>
      <createDate>Thu Jun 13 15:33: 22 UTC 2019</createDate>
      <createTime>1560440002040</createTime>
      <updateDate>Thu Jun 13 15:33:22 UTC 2019</updateDate>
      <extensionType></extensionType>
      <createUser>Xzxzxzxzxzxx</createUser>
      <hash>7VlsbwMQ4HttUn5d5uGdfVA+tdc=</hash>
      <updateTime>1560440002040</updateTime>
      <updateUser>Xzxzxzxzxzxx</updateUser>
      <ID>1232</ID>
      </Group>
</cr.result>
</CommandResult>


I've tried surrounding the Target Group Description by

• Single quotes ' '
• Brackets { }
• Tick marks ` `
• Square Brackets [ ]
• Parens ()

 
But, in those cases I'm always met with the following error
<cr.statusCode>3955</cr.statusCode>
<cr.statusDescription>PAM-CM-0861: Group description must consist of characters [a-z, A-Z, 0-9].</cr.statusDescription>

 
So what's the correct way of doing this.

Per the documentation at https://docops.ca.com/ca-privileged-access-manager/3-3/EN/programming/credential-manager-remote-cli-and-java-api/use-the-credential-manager-cli/remote-cli-command-syntax

• If a parameter value contains a space, enclose the entire value pair definition in quotes. For example, enter "TargetApplication.name=AWS Access Credential Accounts" rather than TargetApplication.name="AWS Access Credential Accounts".

​Thanks Joseph, I'll give that a try. 

Perhaps we should update the documentation for each command:
See
addGroup & addUserGroup and the like.
