When application name have special character the AzureKeyVault task is working fine otherwise failing #657
Description
The cx attempts to resolve the issue by switching to different agent pools were unsuccessful, indicating the problem is not related to the agent environment.
A workaround was implemented by renaming the multiplier from 'OrcasBreadth.DirectorV2' to 'OrcasBreadthDirectorV2', which allowed the pipeline to function correctly.
