Hi,
Yes 9 chars is the limit for password field of SMPP v3.4, but some
vendors do only allow 8 chars. In fact the server that we use allows
not
more than 8 chars, since you are using a string
that is 9 chars long that could be a problem.

Alok.

HI,

According to SMPP V3.4 protocol SMPP password length limit is 8
characters only.
So you are not allowed to pass more than that.

Hi manoj,
I am afraid but thats not true, password limit is 9 characters.
SMPP v3.4 Section 4.1.1 "Bind_Transmitter" Syntax states that password can be max 9 (c-octet string)

Alok,

C-octet strings are terminated with a NUL character (0x00) meaning
that the max length for the password is 8 characters.

Hi Jaco,
Sorry my bad. But we are being able to bind to certain SMSCs with 9 
character password.
