    Question

    Is there a password field length in Aleph?

    Answer

    Yes.
    The patron password is limited to 40 characters (Z308-VERIFICATION).
    The staff user password is limited to 10 characters (Z66-USER-PASSWORD)

    Additional Information

    This applies to Aleph 20, 21, 22, and 23. The length has not been extended.
    Note, that the limit of 40 characters for Z308-VERIFICATION is for encrypted passwords; the base password length is a maximum of 20 characters.
