Sure!

I want to be clear that I don't know if it is specifically 32 characters,
just that I took a guess after trying 86 and 61 characters.

The characters used were uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and hyphens.

The main reason for choosing long, enormous passwords is that the Directory
Manager password can be used remotely, and I have not yet figured out if I
can protect it in other ways other than firewalling LDAP(S) connections.
