It uses a hash to encrypt passwords, so nothing is stripped. To see what hash was used:
show password-controls password-hash-type
To see PSK hash:
vpn dump_psk
To see Smartconsole password from mgmt:
psql_client cpm postgres -c "select fwset from dleobjectderef_data where name='<UserName>';" | grep internal_password
To see hash local GAIA users
show configuration user
I also assume you are fully updated and not running versions with known issues (like old CPinfo version).
