Broadcom token generator produces vague characters

Products

• VMware vCenter Server

Issue/Introduction

When generating a token, either through the support.broadcom.com portal, or through the VMwareDepotChange script, the token may contain vague characters like "1", "l", and "I". This can lead to issues when typing out the token string into Broadcom products.

Resolution

Be sure to copy and paste the token string, when possible. Manually typing the token string can lead to mistyped configurations.
