HP Password length limit?

[KY.Chuang]

I have no to start using HP Trust System.
I set the password with 12 length,
for example 1234abcd1234.
But when I login with 8 length password,
for example 1234abcd.
It still can login Server.
Is it Hp Password length limit?

Regard.

If the system is not trusted, then only the first 8 characters of the password are recognized. So if a user selects a password of 10 characters, they can log in with all 10 or just the first 8.

Using a Trusted system, you can specify a password length of more than 8 characters. When you initially convert to a Trusted System, any passwords longer than 8 characters will be truncated.

Non-trusted 8 characters

You may make them longer but any characters beyond that are ignored.

Trusted: 256, if pea brain molecules are working right today.

If the system is not in trusted mode, you can not use more than 8 chars in password.

Anything after 8 chars is ignored.

If the system is not in trusted mode, you can not use more than 8 chars in password.

Anything after 8 chars is ignored.

With trusted mode it is upto 254 chars.

[T G Manikandan]

On non-trusted system the password cannot exceed 8 characters.

If you are on a trusted system

You can set the following parameter in the /etc/default/security file.

MIN_PASSWORD_LENGTH = 8

If you are running 11.0 then check for the patch PHCO_20334 to enable this feature

Fro non-trusted system, no matter how long your password is, only the first 8 characters are recognized.

hi,

Below a quote from:

man passwd


Passwords must be constructed to meet the following requirements:

+ A password must have at least six characters. Only the first
eight characters are significant in an untrusted system.

+ Characters must be from the 7-bit USASCII character set;
letters from the English alphabet.

+ A password must contain at least two uppercase and/or
lowercase letters and at least one numeric or special
character.

+ A password must differ from the user's login name and any
reverse or circular shift of that login name. For comparison
purposes, an uppercase letter and its corresponding lowercase
equivalent are treated as identical.

+ A new password must differ from the old one by at least three
characters (one character in a trusted system). For
comparison purposes, an uppercase letter and its corresponding
lowercase equivalent are treated as identical.
