Resolution
Overview
When trying to export the configuration from the Palo Alto Networks device, the following error appears:
password node can be at most 63 characters
Cause
When the Palo Alto Networks firewall tries to connect to the SCP server, it encrypts the password and the data can be at most 63 characters. This value doesn't reflect the actual number of characters in unencrypted form entered in the password field.
The maximum length of the password is 15. If the password exceeds 15 characters, then the test SCP connection will throw the error.
Resolution
Reduce the length of the password to 15 or less.
