Description
With the introduction of https://github.com/StackStorm/st2web/pull/887 there is a username and password limit set, but there is no equivalent check in the CLI.
Some feedback from @m4dcoder
"There's going to be some challenges there because the st2auth backends are not managed by st2 (i.e. htpasswd, LDAP, etc.). If those auth providers allow longer usernames and passwords, there's not much we can do other than throw an error that says username/passwords is beyond supported length when user login via the CLI."

Research direction
The issue points to st2web PR #887 and the CLI, with st2auth backends such as htpasswd and LDAP as constraints. First compare the limits introduced by that PR with the CLI login path; done means the CLI handles over-length credentials with the supported error behavior without assuming backend limits.
