I need to use a Oauth2 token as password to connect to a PostgreSQL database. The problem is that when I try to paste a stringline over 245 characters the connection fails. When reopening the connection parameters the password is red and says ‘Value not allowed’. On another laptop (FME 2022.2) it all works fine. Any idea what causes this problem?
Solved
database connections with password over 245 characters are not working

Hi
If upgrading is an option that would be the recommended path. Unfortunately, due to how the 2024.1 interface validates these strings, there isn't a direct workaround for that specific build other than using an alternative authentication method that uses shorter credentials. I hope this helps clarify things!
