I recently updated IIQ to version 8.5 and I’m noticing a modified behavior from the IIQ console. I’m wondering if anyone else is seeing this. It now shows the password on login, which I consider to be a bug.
Previously the password was hidden.
The IIQ console
In IIQ 8.5, installed on Windows, open Powershell 7.5.2 and login to the IIQ console.
Sounds like a bug. Is it the same if you open it with cmd?
I believe this is not a bug; he is already connected to the iiq console. As indicated by the > character in his screenshot, he has successfully established a console connection.
Trying the list or about command would clarify the situation.
Note: The screenshot clearly shows the user is already connected to the iiq console. He appears to be mistakenly interpreting the prompt as a request for a password, rather than as an interface for entering console commands.
The > symbol, followed by a space, confirms that the console connection has been established."
This issue definitely still persists, and I can reproduce it across multiple environments.
I’ve retested using different Java versions and noticed some differences. The issue does not occur with Java Temurin 17.0.16+8, but it seems to begin with version Temurin 21.0.8+9.
I understand your comment suggesting that I might be misinterpreting the prompt as a password request, but that’s not the case. It genuinely asks for a password, and if I enter anything else, authentication fails. However, authentication succeeds when I provide the correct password.
FYI: since I can now reproduce it, created a bug report.
