Max length allowed for a password



Hi,

We are looking at extending the allowed length of passwords we allow people to use (the theory being that a short phrase is easier to remember than a shorter, but arbitrary string of characters).  But since we use our ldap server for authentication to a whole host of online tools, including several portals, I need to know the max length of the source password when doing a bind.

Thanks,
Rob
