Hello,

Please don't use any ad-hoc cruft when generating passwords throughout 
IPA if not really really necessary. We have a nice refreshed password 
generator `ipapython.ipautil.ipa_generate_password()` default config of 
which does the work for you. It also by default generates passwords 
compatible with NSS requirements for FIPS (see 
https://dxr.mozilla.org/nss/source/nss/lib/softoken/fipstokn.c#97 for 
details).

Thanks!
Standa
