[RADIATOR] Password Length Limits

[Johnson, Neil M]

Hmm, I've checked with our AD folks and they claim that they can handle 254 characters (127 unicode) as welll.

The odd thing is we have 2 Wireless SSID's using the same RADIUS server (a local one, and eduroam). A user is having issues with a 28 character password on eduroam, but not on the local one. I don't see a difference in the Handlers for the different SSID's that would result in this issue.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks.
-Neil

Hello Neil -

The User-Password attribute can contain 254 characters, but the password length is usually limited by whatever user credential database you are using.

In your case I would imagine that AD is the limiting factor.

Hugh
