I just used yast2 to config NCC server, nothing found abnormal. Any suggestions? (In reply to comment #0)
Zypper's get_password() function used when repositories need to be authorized has two severe limitations:
1) it only reads passwords up to 20 characters 2) it ignores all characters that are not alphanumeric
NCC/SMT uses 32 character passwords.
Why don't you just use getpass()?

One way to do this is to use or set up a repository which needs authentication (http/ftp with authentication) and has a long password set, and do e.g. 'zypper ref'. Or, if you're on SLE system with NCC repositories configured, just remove/rename /etc/zypp/credentials.d/NCCcredentials, and then give the username/password contained therein when zypper asks when doing 'zypper ref'. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
