With a Jenkins deployed using the helm chart at a customer, we got a feedback that the Active Directory integration fails.
As their requirements, there is a security policy that service accounts (such as the AD binding one) to have passwords between 32 and 64 characters.
As per the testing of the integration team, the 'bind Password' field accepts up to 19 characters.
Can the bind Password length constraints (min. and max.) be made configurable?
Looking at https://github.com/jenkinsci/configuration-as-code-plugin/blob/master/demos/active-directory/README.md, https://github.com/jenkinsci/active-directory-plugin/blob/master/src/main/java/hudson/plugins/active_directory/ActiveDirectorySecurityRealm.java , https://github.com/jenkinsci/active-directory-plugin/blob/master/src/main/java/hudson/plugins/active_directory/ActiveDirectoryDomain.java , I have not seen anything on this matter.
