Passwords are stored in the Tivoli Storage Manager server database and are not case-sensitive.
On the command line, enclose a password in quotation marks if the password contains one or more special characters. The quotation marks ensure that the special characters are correctly interpreted as password characters. Without quotation marks, the special characters can be interpreted as shell escape characters, file redirection characters, or other characters that have significance to the operating system.
Quotation marks are not required when you type a password with special characters in an options file.
