Password: which characters are allowed?

Question

Hi,

which characters can be used for the password? In the documentation there is no indication for that.

We have a user, who wants to use a password with 32 characters and he generates the password with the help of a password generator app. When he changes the initial password, then he gets the message, that the data has been updated but when he tries to log in with the new credentials there is the error message "no user provided".  There seems to be a restriction which characters are allowed.

Best regards,

Silvia

Hi

The field "passwd" of the operators table is varchar(255). So a password with 32 characters could be used.

Do you have errors in apache error log file ? Do you have errors in mysql log file ?
