The password is being included with the URL, so the restrictions are whatever's legal in a URL. I am guessing that what is happening here is that the password is not being run through URI encoding. Encoding the string should allow *any* character to be used, as long as it's valid UTF-8. As a possible workaround, you could try setting the password in SolrJ to the URI encoded version, which for the password you indicated would be: 81%23Mst%23Demo%4018 If this works, which I think it probably will, then there's a bug. I do not know whether the bug is in SolrJ or HttpClient. One of them is not URI encoding the password before sending it. It would be helpful if you shared your SolrJ code that sets the user/password, so we can determine where the bug is. I got the URI encoded version of the password by using the form at this URL: http://urldecode.org/ Thanks, Shawn
