I'm trying to install 3CX PhoneSystem v12 on a fresh Win7 SP1 system. But the installer fails while doing some CA work, and the failure seems to be related to what the last character is in "Certificate Password" and in "PEM pass phrase". I can verify this by re-running the installer providing different passwords. This is what it looks like when I enter a Certificate Password which ends with "#" (I've tested with different passwords and the last characted of the password always show up as invalid command).

Does anyone have a clue on what the problem can be ? Are there limitations on what the valid characters for passwords are ?

Kind regards

do not use "excaping" characters and it will work
 
Re: 3CX Phone System v12 fails depending on certificate pass

If that is the case then the installer needs to verify the password for invalid characters. I just selected HTTP and bypassed the bug
