IMS Explorer does not accept more than an 8 character password and does accept passphrases.

IMS Explorer does not accept more than an 8 character password and does accept passphrases. Our corporate requirement for security passwords is a 10 character passphrase. We are unable to use the product without the 10 character passphrase.
