Title: PBS connection fails - API Token format unclear (= vs : separator)

Description:
I was getting authentication errors with PBS connection. The UI placeholder/example shows the token format as user@realm!tokenid=xxxx, but changing = to : resolved the authentication issues.

What I experienced:

  1. Followed the UI example format: root@pam!proxcenter=<secret>
  2. Got repeated "401 Unauthorized" and "invalid token name" errors in PBS logs
  3. Changed separator from = to :root@pam!proxcenter:<secret>
  4. Authentication started working

Hi,

Indeed there is a difference between PVE and PBS with the separator of the token =/:

I will fix that.

Regards.
