RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Bruno Goncalves 2015-11-10 14:38:12 UTC
Description of problem:
Trying to configure CHAP password longer than 255 characters, only the first 255 characters are used for password.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
targetcli-2.1.fb41-3.el7.noarch

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a password with 256 characters
# export password=`cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | head -c 256`
# echo ${#password}
256

2.Create an iSCSI target
# targetcli /iscsi create iqn.2009-10.com.redhat:storage-1

3. Set the CHAP password
# targetcli /iscsi/iqn.2009-10.com.redhat:storage-1/tpg1 set auth password=$password
Parameter password is now 'JlNkQ1xmnhsYCukUIl5Ors8tiLNGnPu6GmUxhhidLvSuEEaZWqctB2rljEEC0xD1MuoqAgYunW33CWF1xncRZ93ns6wGbHKKKph6rPjYPB9mUudQKIHW2wtfYvnktkGKTnOZhjVnc4irBcxMxCLtVBobp9MtOmAee4gfHxDuhuScPKkb2DjoEtUBZ3h0xZ7RkpPqv8JGCK5BgKYo9uibwpGNgcK4ya56tiIEEesF5yGilqit3tfRGUJJBLeWJSz'.

# echo $?
0

4. Check the last character was not set
# echo $password
JlNkQ1xmnhsYCukUIl5Ors8tiLNGnPu6GmUxhhidLvSuEEaZWqctB2rljEEC0xD1MuoqAgYunW33CWF1xncRZ93ns6wGbHKKKph6rPjYPB9mUudQKIHW2wtfYvnktkGKTnOZhjVnc4irBcxMxCLtVBobp9MtOmAee4gfHxDuhuScPKkb2DjoEtUBZ3h0xZ7RkpPqv8JGCK5BgKYo9uibwpGNgcK4ya56tiIEEesF5yGilqit3tfRGUJJBLeWJSze

Expected results:
targetcli should return some error informing the password is too long or provide some warning informing the password will be truncated.




The problem also happens with userid longer than 255.
