Oracle Forms and Reports integration fail special character password

Hello everyone. We encounter the following problem. When the user has a password with special characters (in this case "#"), launching a Report from Oracle Forms (via RUN_REPORT_OBJECT) fails with an error:
REP-0501: The specified database cannot be connected.
ORA-12162: TNS:net service name is incorrectly specified
If the password contains only letters and numbers, it works correctly. Any ideas, other than changing the password so that it doesn't include special characters? (but it is a requirement of the security area).

OS: RHEL 8

Oracle Forms&Repots 12c (12.2.1.19)

Thank you very much in advance.
