DevOps, CI/CD and Automation

Hi,
I'm running a report through rwservlet and I keep getting authentication failed error.

I have all the necessary parameters passed into the servlet, but when I scan the url and the parameters passed in, I notice that the userid and authid parameters are coded with the ascii codes instead of the actual character.... ie &userid=user%2Fpass@db instead of user/pass@db.

I'm assuming that the rwservlet cannot decode those characters on the other side. Is that the reason for the auth error?

thanks
