Not sure if this is the correct forum to address this, so apologies in advance if not.
In working to utilize the "new" python check for VMware resources I ran into a bit of an edge case with how the check_vsphere_xi.py script handles the password value when consumed from an auth file.

Currently the password value is extracted with: which won't properly capture the entire password if that password contains a "=" symbol. Patching this to instead be: should fix the issue.

Just wanted to pass this along, in the very least to help anyone with this very specific issue.

Hello @trigel,

Good catch! I've made the fix for the username/password splits and will have it out in the next release (not 2024R2 as that's already into QA, but the next release).

Awesome! Thank you @bbahn!
