Description

in https://github.com/BfArM-MVH/grz-tools/blob/867fc1d439f682cf574a65b64d700e98c6d802bc/packages/grz-db/src/grz_db/models/submission/__init__.py#L574:

str(self.engine.url) masks the password with stars ***. Therefore, the wrong password is being passed to sqlalchemy -> authentication fails.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how the database URL is constructed and ensure the password is not masked. Use `str(self.engine.url)` with `hide password=False` or use `make url` to get the URL object.
