So, the source file /opt/rudder/etc/external-db.conf is dotsourced, then a sed is done, so it's likely why some chars are not correctly escaped.
We should:
- as a workaround, document the accepted chars (but there's no obvious reason to force restraining the char scope, esp if the pass is generated by some cloud provider)
- correctly escape the pass before copying it.
