Password length limit for certificates in Kleopatra

[Vojtěch Zeisek]

Hi,
I need to use personal PKCS#12 certificates for signing mails in KMail, and I 
found one "funny" issue. Kleopatra has hard-coded limit of maximal password 
length of 31 characters, well it's hard-coded in gpgsm from GnuPG [1], which 
is the only tool to work with these certificates available for KDE PIM. I 
usually work with longer passwords, so this limit is bi annoying, and seems 
outdated as IDK any other recent tool with such a limit. Of course, I know I 
can "repack" the certificate and shorten the password using OpenSSL, but still, 
I wonder if there is any chance to get rid of this limit, either by updating 
the GnuPG, or if KDE PIM would use (also) another library to work with 
certificates (GnuTLS)...?
Yours,
V.
