I’m configuring LDAP on my network server. I’m running openSuse 12.1. I have a problem that the user configuration module has default password settings, which are causing me trouble. I try to type in a 8 character password, with letters, numbers, and special characters. At first, it warned me that the password was truncated to six characters. This was due to a character limit in the user configuration module of ldap.
Yast -> Ldap Client -> Advanced Settings -> Administrative settings -> Configure user management -> User management module.
In there, I find a variable that I can change to increase the character limit for my password to a larger number like 36. I close and save LDAP client. However, every time it still truncates my password to 6 characters. And I never yet authenticate. Every time I try to login as an LDAP user, the password doesn’t match, despite typing in the same password through YAST user management only a minute ago.
Anyone have any suggestions how to successfully increase the character limit, and get LDAP to recognize the correct password?

Sorry, I don’t use ldap. You might try the mailing list, I know that there
are some people there that do use ldap in production settings.
