The admin application needlessly sets the maximum size of the username
and password fields to 16 characters. It is VERY easy to run into a
problem with some Realm types (like JNDI, if you are using
fully-qualified LDAP names). I know a password of 16 characters is a
bit pathological, but the limit is arbitrary and needless.
I have attached a simple patch to this to just get rid of the
maximums.
I have seen two or three emails complaining about this and ran into
this myself today.
