Description

When a user configures the PVESearchURL.aspx script with a UserName parameter that contains a backslash (e.g. domain\username) the following error is returned even though the included the correct UserName and Password: "The system could not log you on. Make sure your User Name and Entity ID are correct, then type your password again. Letters in passwords must be typed using the correct case."

http://PaperVision/PVESearchURL.aspx?UserName=ab&Password=test&EntID=1&ProjID=1&IndexFields=NAME&IndexValues=John Doe&ResultsType=List

This example shows a valid PVESearchURL script (including the needed escape character):

http://PaperVision/PVESearchURL.aspx?UserName=a\b&Password=test&EntID=1&ProjID=1&IndexFields=NAME&IndexValues=John Doe&ResultsType=List
