Hi folks, We are currently working on getting the administrator@vsphere.local account added to our CyberArk for password management and rotation. The CPM cannot interpret passwords with special characters and causes CyberArk to fall out of sync with the current administrator password. Does anyone know how to enforce a policy / rule that prevent the administrator@vsphere.local password rotation from containing special characters? We have tried doing it through the GUI on vSphere but the passwords continue to have special characters in them. Thanks, Darragh
