If you run only this:

pmm-admin config --server-insecure-tls --server-url=https://admin:XXXXX@HOSTNAME:443

does it work?

Thanks @Frak,

hovewer that didn’t provide much info, we don’t have docker image with the same hash tag. Could you open UI and check version there, please?

I’ve foud this in logs

ProjectName: pmm-managed
Version: 2.41.0
PMMVersion: 2.41.0
Timestamp: 2023-12-05 18:04:58 (UTC)
FullCommit: 9a3843dc52af8ee2561ae2d1b3ee254e313ad493

If this is not enough let me know where on the UI I have to go

Seems like your password contains unsupported characters, please try to escape them. If it doesn’t help please change password so it doesn’t contain any unsupported characters.

Hi, you’re right!
I’m replying just to keep a track, maybe it’s useful to other people,
The only unusual character used was a “£” one
I changed the password (now I have only letters and numbers) and it works

Thanks you

Frak,

For completeness, you can also use the following to get a command-friendly password string:

$ printf %s 'yourpasswith£char' | jq -sRr @uri
yourpasswith%C2%A3char

And then use the printed string in the pmm-admin config command. In this way, you can continue to use special characters in your passwords.
