It's actually the UnixCrypt algorithm that only uses up to 8 characters.
You've got a couple of options:
- If using form based authentication, limit the input to 8 characters
- Create your own authentication service that does not use UnixCrypt. See
either Chapter 38 of "Developing Applications with JRun" or the online
article at the JRun DevCenter on JRun Authentication

So if you enter more than 8 characters and the first 8 characters represent
the correct password, JRun should not accept the identification or at least
inform the reader that only passwords up to 8 characters are valid and
prompt the user again for the correct password.
