CloudFormation failed due to password

[JoeHershman]

After finally keeping resources, and checking the logs it seems this failure os due to:

The 'password' field can only have the numbers 0-9, the ASCII letters a-z, A-Z and the dot character (.)

Couple things here,

1. This is not validated when kicking off the CloudFormation.  
2. Portal does not require these conditions, why is it required during the running of this chef script?

[ReeseFacendini]

The password requirement is only for the initial administrator account for Portal, and is a limitation of the PostgreSQL backend.  It's not unique to chef, and is still a requirement when doing a manual install of Portal.  Once the initial admin account has been created, all subsequent users can create passwords with letters, numbers, and special characters.
