Description
Http auth accepts any additional suffix to the correct password.
So if the password is "password" then "passwordfoobar" is accepted too.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
The 8 chars is password length limit is in traditional DES crypt(3) scheme, nginx has nothing to do with it. You are free to use any crypt(3) scheme as supported by your OS, as well as Apache's md5 variant ($apr1$) and {SSHA} as supported in nginx 1.0.3+. Anything except traditional DES scheme shouldn't have this limit.
