Quick Description:	NTA Password limitations during installation
Which Product?:	NTA 4.4
Issue:	We were in the process of installing NTA 4.4 and noticed we got the following error during the install (SolarWinds.ConfigurationWizard.Common.ConfigurationException: Failed to execute step "Saving connection string to NetFlow storage database..." - original error is: String or binary data would be truncated)
Solution:	It appears that NTA SolarWinds has a maximum length on the password for the "New Database User” that is not exposed in the configuration wizard. The NTA SolarWinds Configuration Wizard throws the above error when trying to store passwords longer then 64 characters.

I wish the Installer had a better error indicator that this was related to the password not being supported by NTA.

MSSQL allows a maximum password length of 128 characters, And the other SolarWinds products like NPM, SAM, and WPM Configuration Wizard accepted a 64 character password for the New Database User during the installation, so why not NTA?
