Bug description: mssql_connect and mssql_pconnect do not accept password
longer than 30 chars
Description:
------------
Using SQL Server 2005 (SP1).
Unable to connect with logins that have passwords greater than 30
characters long using mssql_connect or mssql_pconnect.
The logins work fine from the server client tools; I spent hours
troubleshooting this. sigh.
The reason the passwords I was trying to use were 32 characters is becuase
I was using MD5 hashes of plain passwords for my server logins.
Reproduce code:
---------------
$dbh = mssql_pconnect("MyHost", "testlogin",
"passwordpasswordpasswordpassword");
OR
$dbh = mssql_connect("BUILDWAY-NET", "testlogin",
"passwordpasswordpasswordpassword");
Expected result:
----------------
Expect $dbh to hold a link identifier to a mssql connection.
I expected that the statements would connect with passwords that have a
length as long as the server can accept.
Actual result:
--------------
Returns false with these messages:
Debug Warning: c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\includes\ez_sql-ms.php line 71 -
mssql_pconnect() [<a href='file:///C:\Program
Files\Zend\ZendStudioClient-5.1.0\docs\PHPmanual/function.mssql-pconnect'>function.mssql-pconnect</a>]:
message: Login failed for user 'testlogin'. (severity 14)

Unable to connect to server: BUILDWAY-NET
Errors are the same for mssql_connect (except that the p in mssql_pconnect
is left out).
