cookie_monster Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 We've been having a few issues with password length since starting to use SSL login with Smoothwall, if a student has a password longer than 15 characters login fails without explanation. We have to change their password to one of less than 15 characters, this is a bit of a pain as some of our students use passphrases. Any other Smoothwall users seeing this?

It must be an issue with squid as it happens with Censornet as well.
tom_newton Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 SSL login shouldn't have a lot to do with squid. I'll have it looked into as soon as I get a moment!
