SSL Problem

Okay, here it goes. I recently got SSL up and running on my webserver with the help of kashani. I have a question though. I recently cam across a weird thing. I was typing in my passsword, and accidentally hit enter before I was done typing it in (4 characters short), and it accepted the password. My password is 14 characters long, and when I type in 10 characters, it is accepted. Is this normal? I re did my password file, with my 14 character password, and it still accepts the first 10 only. Here is my .htaccess file:

Check if there is a maximum on password-chars. Somethimes systems set their maximum to 8 chars (SuSE did this per default).

I don't know anything about SSL, but does it use PAM to authenticate?
