Remote Access MFA Password Restrictions

bbruelhart — Wed, 29 Jul 2020 06:17:32 GMT

We use remote access to a Check Point gateway cluster with Microsoft Multifactor Authentication. We found out that passwords with a german Umlaut (ä,ö,ü) or passwords longer than 15 characters do not work with the RADIUS server.

Does anyone know where the definitions are defined and if we can change the behavior?

Thank you for your help.

Regarding passwords longer than 15 characters i found sk13740

Maybe this will also solve the umlaut characters.

Hello Mario

That did the job for the passwords longer than 16 characters. So, thanks a lot. Umlaut still not working but less important.

Did you ever find a solution to the problem with Umlaut/Unicode characters in password?
