[Bug 1521805] [NEW] Exceeding max password length of 4096 doesn't prompt error

 

Public bug reported:

While creating a user or updating the password of user, if the password
exceeds max 4096 characters then no error appears to the user. And it
seems its working normal.

while creating or updating user's password there could be 3 scenarios:
1) Password < 4096 characters 
2) Password = 4096 characters
3) Password > 4096 characters

In case (1) password can be set and used normally 
In case (2) and (3) password can be set, but if this user's credentials are used it gives authentication error.


For case (2) and (3) while setting or updating the password alert message should be given to the user, like password exceeds maximum acceptable characters length.
