Microsoft Cloud Services Add-On Error: In handler 'passwords': cannot parse secret JSON: Unexpected EOF

I am trying to create an Azure connection in my Splunk install in Azure Government using the Microsoft Cloud Services add-on. When I create a new Azure account and provide the client and tenant IDs and the client secret, as directed by the documentation, it fails with the error: In handler 'passwords': cannot parse secret JSON: Unexpected EOF.

Looking closely my suspicion is that this cannot handle the special characters that are in these secret keys, which includes a tilde, dash, underscore, and period. I have tried keys that only have one or two of those special characters and they still fail, and I am unable to create a key that doesn't have at least one of them.

Looking for some guidance on how to proceed. If I can't create the account, I can't connect my Event Hub and ingest into Splunk.

If you need a quick patch then it may be possible to edit the password handler code, but as this app is Splunk supported, you could submit a support ticket for it.
