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!
Can you elaborate? I have both a Dell and HPE Server with IDRAC and ILO respectively and I haven’t noticed anything like that.

Another one I can make accusations about from memory but not substantiate is Cisco uhh xr? Gear.
