Hi, the NetWeaver documentation says officially at least 3 characters as min. https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_NETWEAVER_750/c6e6d078ab99452db94ed7b3b7bbcccf/4ac3efb58c352470e10000000a42189c.html

But in general, your suggestion looks good to me. We may have to double-check if a long password with 20 digits or even longer would work with the SWPM. I still remember that it was not possible to use passwords longer than 16 digits.

The doc we linked in the issues tells us 3-40 chars are possible but 6 chars are the default value. https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_NETWEAVER_750/c6e6d078ab99452db94ed7b3b7bbcccf/4ac3f18f8c352470e10000000a42189c.html?locale=en-US So I guess we're fine here.

That is definitively a check we should do before merging this.

AFAIK - For NetWeaver/ASCS/PAS the allowed master passwd length is 10-14 by SWPM and for HANA with higher number is allowed. Choosing "Custom" over "Typical" Parameter settings while running SWPM allows setting passwd for individual user (like TSMADM, WEBADM, SecureStorage, DB-Schema etc)
