We are happy to announce that Vesta is back under active development as of 25 February 2024. We are working on v1 candidate and expect to engage more with the community over the coming months. We are committed to open source, and we encourage contributors to help us build the future of Vesta.

maximum 16 characters length, including prefix
There is this old post about the max length for a DB user.
http://forum.vestacp.com/viewtopic.php? ... ers+length
Neither do I see that the feature request went forward, nor that this limitation has been lifted.
However. MariaDB (which has replaced mysql in most distros) in version 10.x or later (this version can be installed from repos if its not the default) does not have this limitation.
Can we maybe get rid of this limit please and move forward as this is very frustrating limitation?
Cheers
Andy

Re: maximum 16 characters length, including prefix
Thanks for pointing me to that conversation, but I miss the real point in there too.
MariaDB10+ supports more than 16 chars and the idea of limiting down to 8 chars is so like 8 bit?
We are in 2017, and when you try to explain char limitations to someone, they rightfully laught at you.
I had not too long ago an argue with someone who had (and could remember!!) a 35 char password and found out that beyond 32 chars he got ignored and could type whatever he wanted.
While password123 does the job for me [/joke] I do see that a username of 8 or 16 is not up to date and does not help anyone.

Reason to support this it's mysql on distros, it's not one or two installations.Cloud7 wrote:Thanks for pointing me to that conversation, but I miss the real point in there too.

MariaDB in distros? Cool. Everywhere? Nope.
Good to know you're like new soft, but distros/users are more conservative.
