Password length limit

kcress

Hi,
I'm having trouble while trying to get my Duet to log into my network.
While trying to do a console login I was thwarted by being limited to 19 characters. Our network has about a 25 character password. So dumping everything off the network by changing to a short temporary password I was able to put the Duet on the network via the console. Yay!

Once on the network I was able to use the web editor to edit the config.g file to put in the long password. I then changed the network password back to the original long one then rebooted the Duet.

No joy. It complains that the password is being rejected. I suspect it's a problem with the length again.

Does anyone know what the working length can be? It's supposed to be 63 characters but I don't believe the Duet 2.0 firmware is allowing that. Anyone else able to use a 25 character + password successfully?

@kcress you can't set the network password in config.g because the network system is disabled until config.g has completed. Create a macro to set it instead.

kcress

Gack! I had no idea that was the case. I'll give that a try.
Thanks dc42.

@dc42 I dindt knew this: I can set the wifi password in the config.g file?

@dc42 I have tried that, but the command M587 gives me a "command nor supported".
I have version 3.3 of the firmware and the 3.3 of DWC as well.

@tinchus If you are using your Duet with a SBC, you may have to start the DuetPi Management Plugin on the Settings -> Machine-Specific -> Plugins page first. M587 won't work on Ethernet boards without SBC.

Tinchus

@chrishamm Yes, Im using it with a SBC (raspberry PI 3B+), but I see nothing related to that plugin setting. I checked in SETTINGS > MACHINE-SPECIFIC > MACHINE-SPECIFIC PLuging. It is empty

chrishamm

@tinchus Then it sounds like you upgraded from an older DSF version (3.2?). Please check out the upgrade notes here and then install the corresponding management plugin via sudo apt install duetpimanagementplugin from a Linux console (SSH e.g.).

Tinchus

@chrishamm I upgraded from 3.1 I think. I followed the instructions in the release notes, I got some errors but now seems to be working as intended
Thanks!

Update: the plugin doesnt start automatically after reboot, I have to manually start it.
