Error" wrong password" while installing certificate when special characters like $,! are used in RSA key password

We need to use escape character in front of the special characters to get this working.

Problem Cause

The problem is with “$” and not all the special characters. I was able to create RSA key with all other special characters in the “password” field.
With special character “$” also it behaves in three different ways :

• It works well if the “$” is given at the end of a password string
• It fails to create the RSA key if “$” is inputted in between the password string.
• If “$” is given at the beginning of password string then also it does not work and gives the error “ERROR: Problem in writing output file”

 
It seems to be a kernel side issue or either that the code is not properly interpreting the password that have special characters.
