Symptom


  • Setting LDAP BIND password on PAN firewall
  • Unable to enter BIND password greater than 63 characters, with error "Server error :  -> bind-password can be at most 63 characters"

Environment


  • NGFW
  • PANOS

Cause


Maximum number of characters supported for plain-text bind-password config is 63.
 

Resolution


  • This limit of 63 is for the plain-text password entered.
  • Starting from PanOS 7.0.7, the firewall will accept hashed password greater than 63 characters provided its plain-text counter part is <=63, through CLI.
  • To set the bind password using CLI, use
> configure
# set shared server-profile ldap test bind-password <BIND password>
# commit
# exit
