CONFIGURATION

Message Text

Database password too long.

Description

A database password supplied as part of the server configuration is longer than the implementation limit of 16 characters.

Cause

The connection to the database has been configured to use a password that is longer than the limit allowed by the implementation.

Action

Change the password required by the database connection to be less than or equal to 16 characters in length and use the new password in the server configuration file. Alternatively, reconfigure the database connection to use operating system security (in which case the userid and password are no longer needed in the configuration file).
