Exclude special characters in Application Secret

Hello reinleen,

Thank you for reaching out to the Devolutions support team.

Unfortunately, this is not possible at the moement to exclude a character in the secret or the key.
I will transfer this ticket to the appropriate thread as a feature request.
Could you tell me which data source type you are using?

Also, in PowerShell, the single quote will also refer to a string, and double quotes support variables in that string.

I will be consuming the keys as a string (which I will store as a hash using the functions I created for this: PowerShell/Security at main · TheBrickAdmin/PowerShell · GitHub).

Hello,

Thank you for your request. I understand your need. I will create a ticket in our backlog to remove those characters from the secret, that would make sense.

Best regards,

Hi @reinleen

We’ve removed those characters when generating the application secret in our latest 2025.3.7.0 release.
Best regards,
