Albert,
I would like to ask you for clarification in this case, because I find IPMI
specification being quite confusing. They're talking about storing
passwords as 16 byte or 20 byte and internal tag in one paragraph. Yet
talking about use of 16b and 20b passwords in other. I'm referring to pages
297-298.
As I understand it, password length is up to 16 bytes and the only
difference is storage method and latter use determined how was password
stored.
To be honest, I haven't read IPMI specification back and forth(only bits I
needed or were interesting), so it is possible it is explained somewhere in
there.
Thank you for clarification,
