Web developers? We need to target ilo developers for this! I don’t remember if hps thing does it but dells for sure does…

Can you elaborate? I have both a Dell and HPE Server with IDRAC and ILO respectively and I haven't noticed anything like that.

I just checked and idrac 8 tells you it’s a 20 character limit and silently truncates when you go longer than that. I’m not at an hp thing to check about ilos behavior.

I think I have seen it complaining about too long passwords before but I did not know about it silently truncating. I just tested what ILO does on my HP and it happily accepts an arbitrarily long password but it only ever uses the first 40 characters. Good to know!

Another one I can make accusations about from memory but not substantiate is Cisco uhh xr? Gear.
