password problem....

Hi,

I found this strange behavior on my ASG110 (5.207) and on my ASL 6.101 installation...pratically I setup all the password (admin, root, loginuser) to the same value with this form: XXXXXXXXXXYYYY
So the password length is 14 char.

I CAN LOGON TO MY ASTARO IF I USE XXXXXXXXXX or XXXXXXXXXXYYYY AS PASSWORD VIA SSH or CONSOLE!!

Why?

8 characters of my password doesn't let me login via ssh, SU, or webmin.
(on 5.2x)

Hi BarryG,

I can logon with 8 characters of my password on my following systems:

- 2 ASG110 v. 6.102
- 3 ASL v. 5.208
- 1 ASG220 v. 5.208

There is something strange if you can't login with 8 characters because Astaro use DES encryption.
Are you using a modified version of Astaro?

Remember: the webadmin logon is not interessed by the password problem.

I tested it on my ASG110 6.102 and ASL 6.102, both didn't let me in with 8 characters....

Hi manson,

like me also TOHIL has found this behavior...are you sure to type exactly the first 8 characters of your loginuser/root long password?

Have you used loginuser via SSH and root user via console?
To be more secure try to setup the password as 123456789 and then try to login with 12345678.
I have just done it on my new ASL 6.102 on a PowerEdge 1850....

I just attemped this on all my ASG 220s, and my ASL 6 box at home. Set my password to 11 characters. Will NOT let me in using only the first 8 characters, or 10, it has to be all 11.

Hi ReD-MaN

do you know why I can login via SSH/console on my ASLs/ASGs with only the first 8 characters?
Perhaps there was adifferent version of Astaro.......
My Astaro ISOs were downloaded from official site (md5 verified).
