Hello, We are using the Splunk Addon- Splunk_TA_cisco-ucs to collect data from Cisco UCS. We are getting an authentication failed message. How do we need to specify the UCS user name when we are using LDAP domain (Active Directory)

Error message in Splunk below
Exception: Failed to get cookie for x.x.x.x, errcode=551, reason=Authentication failed

If you are on version 2.0.3, there's a bug that causes an "authentication failure" when using passwords with special characters. If you take out the special characters, you should find that data collection will function as expected.
