Problem
Provisioning to a vCenter Endpoint using a secure password with special characters such as (@, %, $) fails.
Cause
This was a known issue with vCenter 6.5 which was rectified at Build 9451637 of vCenter 6.5. (See Additional information for vCenter 6.5 U2c release notes)
An example of a failure log would be similar to below, please note the logs regarding the pscController connection and an immediate failure.

Affected Versions

Workaround or Solution
Overview
Suggested workaround is to either upgrade vCenter to Build 9451637 or change the password used for the SovLabs vCenter Endpoint Credential to one that does not contain the special characters.
