We found out, that using special characters or national characters like äöü cause problems when they are in the passwort of a user and saved in an authdomain credentials. Libnames then do not have access to the credentials any more resulting in a Warning in the log and failing libnames.
I suggest, that sas automatically pwencodes the passwort before saving it to the authdomain or at least builds a toggle to pwencode it optionally so that every password can be plain inputted in the field and saved in a way that it works in libnames.
