Credentials from rundeck keystore incorrect when password begins with character "*" for Windows

[pts-aut]

When the Password used for windows connections (winrm) is starting with an "*" - the ansible connection is failing. rundeck WinRM connection is working fine.

When the "*" is not the first Character - everything is fine.

Error-Output:

• With Kerberos-Auth:
  "msg": "Kerberos auth failure for principal user@DOMAIN.LOCAL with subprocess: user@DOMAIN.LOCAL's Password: \nkinit: Password incorrect",
• With NTLM-Auth:
  'unreachable': True, 'msg': 'ntlm: the specified credentials were rejected by the server',

Looks like there is a problem reading the password here.
