What are valid characters for the RADIUS and Defender Shared Secret field? (4297835)

With 2.5.919 (or a prior version after applying Hotfix 7933) and above, then the field will allow any non-alpha character except for the double quote (“)

Otherwise for prior releases:

Valid characters are alphanumeric and "_-+."  (underscore hyphen plus period)

Any other character entered within the 'Secret' field will return the error:

Please enter only alphanumeric plus "_-+." characters in the "Secret" field.

If this error is seen and there do not appear to be any invalid characters, please ensure there are no leading or trailing spaces in the Secret field.

WORKAROUND

2.5.913 - 2.5.918 Install Hotfix_7933. This hotfix allows any non-alpha numeric character to be typed in the Server Secret field for Radius and Defender external authentication
