Increase Password Length for CIFS on AIX 7.2

We have secure Windows shares that need to be mounted via CIFS on AIX 7.2 servers. Those shares have highly secure passwords that range from 16 to 20 characters in length per our Security Team requirements. The current version of the CIFS fileset on AIX 7.2 limits the passwords to 14 characters. We are requesting an enhancement that will allow for those secure password lengths.
