Novell Documentation: Novell Internet Access Server 4.1 - Failed to change password. The password length was longer than the global maximum length limit.

Failed to change password. The password length was longer than the global maximum length limit.

Source: Remote Access Client Messages

Explanation: The remote client password that was entered is too long. By default, Novell Internet Access Server 4.1supports an 8-character remote client password unless the administrator has enabled long passwords (up to 16characters) on the server. If one remote access server on the network is configured to support long passwords, then all remote access servers on the network need to be configured the same way. Otherwise, you might not be able to gain access via all remote access servers if you are using long passwords.

Action: Use a password that conforms to the password length restriction configured at the remote access server.
