MaxPasswordHistoryLength

[davide-videotec]

During the plugfest we realized that there is no way to know what is the maximum password history length that can be stored in the device. So I propose to add this capability.

Don't get what the capability expresses. Is it the maximum length that a password may have to be remembered, or the maximum number of passwords that can be remembered? I would assume that it is the latter. Than the next question would be does this hold per user or overall for all users?

Probably a better name would be MaxPasswordHistory and please describe in the annotation what it is about.

I have improved the description, as suggested. Yet I left the name, because I think it is similar to other capability names (MaxUserNameLength, MaxPasswordLength, ...) but at the same time it is unlikely to confuse it or misunderstand it.

Thanks for the quick update. Annotation now looks good. Let's discuss the name at the virtual meeting end of the month.
