Andreas,

I just checked the IPMI spec, and it exactly says:
"Software is allowed to place additional restrictions on what passwords can be entered, in which case it is the responsibility of configuration software and console software to stay in synch with that definition."

https://www.intel.co.uk/content/www/uk/en/servers/ipmi/ipmi-second-gen-interface-spec-v2-rev1-1.html
2.30 Set User Password command

So from that aspect it complies with the IPMI spec. It is just a bit more restrictive.
