I just checked and idrac 8 tells you it’s a 20 character limit and silently truncates when you go longer than that. I’m not at an hp thing to check about ilos behavior.
I think I have seen it complaining about too long passwords before but I did not know about it silently truncating. I just tested what ILO does on my HP and it happily accepts an arbitrarily long password but it only ever uses the first 40 characters. Good to know!
