Thanks for your report, the title is a bit misleading, as the problem seems to be present only with the webui. Having a strong password like described work perfectly with dir<->bconsole for example. We are now checking where the problem really occur. |
|
|
Long or complicated password are truncated during POST operation with login form. Those password work well with bconsole for example. |
|
|
Apologies, I did not consider it to be specific to the webui. Thanks for looking into this! Maybe the POST truncation could be adjusted in my Apache web server? |

Actual research has proved that the length is important and the password for webui console should be less than 64 chars. Maybe you can confirm this also on your installation so when our dev's will check this it will be more precise about the symptoms. |

Can confirm, with 64 characters it works fine! |
|
|
And I can also confirm, with one more character, so 65 in total, it returns the "Please provide a director, username and password." message. |
|
|
The form data input filter for password input is set to validate for a PW length between 1 and 64. We simply can remove the max value from the filter to not cause problems like this or set it to a value corresponding to what is allowed in configuration files. |

Fix committed to bareos master branch with changesetid 16581. |
