Hi,
  indeed this may well be true, I suppose we have never considered passwords that long.
We will need to take a look in the code.
For Apple you should not see any problems since we are not installing credentials, the system will request them by itself so the only lilitations you may get will be system-specific.

Hello,


I believe there might be a password length issue with the CAT tool and Windows.  In testing our installers we received the attached error message.  It appeared when using a 27 character password.  Changing the user's password to 10 characters removed the message and the tool worked as expected.  Changing the user's password 26 characters again cause the program to error.  We noticed the issue with Windows 10 and Windows 7.  We have yet to test on a Mac.


-Bryan
