EBS password size

This is a little off course from our usual "Security Week" type of post, but I think it is important information to know anyways in your efforts to secure the EBS application as well as your environment.  Per My Oracle Support note 1550649.1, users can encounter errors on the R12 platform if passwords are longer than 30 characters as some functions like FNDCPASS and AFPASSWD do not behave properly.  A few interesting bits on the page about what characters are NOT allowed in the password, other error messages that may occur for your end users, and the Enhancement bug which has been logged to get the UI updated to not allow passwords to be set to this length.
