Any reserved URL characters in the DB connection URL need to be escaped. Note, the % character also needs to be escaped
Explicitly, the following characters need to be escaped: !, #, $, %, &, ', (, ), *, +, ,, /, :, ;, =, ?, @, [, ]
It's easiest to always run the URL parts of your DB connection URL (e.g. username, password, etc) through an URL encoder. See the example Python snippets below:
$ python3 -c ' import urllib.parse; print(urllib.parse.quote(input("String to encode: "), "")) ' String to encode: FAKEpassword!#$%&' () * +,/:;= ? @[]
FAKEpassword%21%23%24%25%26%27%28%29%2A%2B%2C%2F%3A%3B%3D%3F%40%5B%5D
$ python2 -c ' import urllib; print urllib.quote(raw_input("String to encode: "), "") ' String to encode: FAKEpassword!#$%&' () * +,/:;= ? @[]
FAKEpassword%21%23%24%25%26%27%28%29%2A%2B%2C%2F%3A%3B%3D%3F%40%5B%5D
