[nexpose-users] error when connecting nexpose instance

[Errol Fagone]

Does your NeXpose password contain special characters? I have seen this before and creating a separate user in NeXpose for Metasploit without the use of special characters in your password helped solve the problem. Let us know if your password doesn't even contain special characters though...

Thanks,
Errol
