In the EM Database Control I am trying to save my metalink account by navigating to Setup -> Patching Setup. When I enter my login information and submit I get the following error

Error
Invalid Data - Error: apply failed ORA-12899: value too large for column "SYSMAN"."MGMT_ARU_CREDENTIALS"."ARU_USERNAME" (actual: 80, maximum: 64) ORA-06512: at "SYSMAN.MGMT_CREDENTIAL", line 1482 ORA-06512: at line 1

My username is 34 characters long (with our company going with the firstname.lastname_at_company.com format) and the password is 7 characters. I see that the table definition is SYSMAN.MGMT_ARU_CREDENTIALS
( ARU_USERNAME VARCHAR2(64 BYTE),
ARU_PASSWORD VARCHAR2(256 BYTE)
)

The code in the package SYSMAN.MGMT_CREDENTIAL is encrypting the username and password and I guess the encrypted value of the username is not fitting in the 64 bytes provided.

If I can't get this to work it is not a show stopper for me, but I'd like to know if someone can tell me me what the maximum size of the e-mail address can be so that the encrypted value fits in the 64 bytes in the table.
