<![CDATA[login with nxencpasswd not working]]>Hello,
i want to encrypt my database password with nxencpasswd. At first i executed this command:

# nxencpasswd netxms 'k081vv3C$UKe7z!ysP4Yf408^4m78SGF'
gyuWboDpO52LQYPeHCQ6LlksHezjf3cJmhb5/VpmgJE=

Than i edited my /etc/netxmsd.conf to this:

## Option #3 - MySQL:
DBDriver=mysql.ddr
DBServer=10.10.11.20
DBName=netxms
DBLogin=netxms
DBEncryptedPassword=gyuWboDpO52LQYPeHCQ6LlksHezjf3cJmhb5/VpmgJE=

Now i started netxmsd service and got this error:

2020.01.13 20:57:49.856 Log file opened (rotation policy 2, max size 16777216)
2020.01.13 20:57:49.857 *I* [                   ] Code page set to ISO8859-1

I hope someone knows what the problem is.
Thanks in advance!

I just increased maximum password length for nxencpasswd in 3.2 branch.

Best regards,
Victor

Can you change this limitation in future releases of NetXMS, because many passwords are longer than 32 symbols. When you see it from security perspective, you shouldn't limt the password length with such a "low" limit. Now 32 symbols are quite "okay", but I think in future this limitation could be critical.

➜ orig git:(master) ✗ nxencpasswd netxms 'k081vv3C$UKe7z!ysP4Yf408^4m78SGF'

I corrected my old post. This is why your encoded password is different. I installed NetXMS from packages.

➜ ~ nxencpasswd netx 'k081vv3C$UKe7z!ysP4Yf408^4m78SGF'

Do you use prepackaged binaries or do you compile netxms yourself?
