URL Encoded Emails

In order for the yum or dnf or zypper to pass the correct email address to the authentication protocols on the Software Delivery Repository, email addresses in the *.repo files must be URL encoded. For most email addresses, changing the "@" to "%40" is sufficient. For instance, "john.smith@company.com" would be entered as "john.smith%40company.com" in the *.repo file. You may use the URL encoded values from the list below or use an online tool like URL Decode and Encode to help encode your email address.

    @ = %40      & = %26      / = %2F      ` = %60      space = %20
    ! = %21      ' = %27      = = %3D      { = %7B      , = %2C
    # = %23      * = %2A      ? = %3F      | = %7C      . = .
    $ = %24      + = %2B      ^ = %5E      } = %7D
    % = %25      - = -        _ = _        ~ = ~
