Hello,
As of 6.10.0 rc8, my VM's would not autostart because my vnc passwords contained more than 8 characters. This is a security issue because it imposes a limit on length of passwords which inherently limits the time it takes a malicious user to crack the password. Most platforms require a minimum of 8 characters.
Reproduction Steps:
1. Go to VMs Tab -> Select any VM's icon and Edit.
2. Change VNC passsword to anything that contains more than 8 characters.
3. Start the recently edited VM.
4. Observe the message in the screenshot above.
NOTE: I did not have this issue on RC7.
Thank you all in advance,
Kevin
