Hi,
What the SMPP 3.4 specs say is that it is a C-Octet string with a
maximum of 9 octets. Also in the specs are defined that a C-Octet string
may consists of any ASCII character and is terminated by a NULL
terminator. This is also why almost all C-Octet String lengths
limitations are odd numbers.
Quote from the spec:
"In the case of all C-Octet String formats, the maximum field size is
shown as a combination of string length and the NULL terminator, i.e.,
an 8-character C-Octet String is encoded in 9 octets when the NULL
terminator is included."
In other words, passwords longer than 8 characters are not suitable for
SMPP.

Hello,
I have a question about Kannel and the smsc-password length
The smpp v3.4 states the maximum length is 9 characters.
The password i was supplied from our provider is 9 characters.
I put a line similar to this in my kannel.conf -
smsc-username = onetwothr
smsc-password = onetwothr
And then i get this error message when starting the bearerbox
[27034] [6] WARNING: SMPP: PDU element <password> too long (length is
9, should be 8)
2005-12-19 14:27:07 [27034] [6] WARNING: SMPP: PDU NULL terminated
string has no NULL.
2005-12-19 14:27:07 [27034] [6] ERROR:
SMPP[SMPP:host:8080/700:onetwothr:]: SMSC rejected login to transmit,
code 0x0000000e (Invalid Password).
I was wondering if I am doing something wrong, or is Kannel's maximum
password length 8?
Also I am using today's cvs version.
Thanks a Bunch!
