There was a problem hiding this comment.
I am bit confused by this phrase. Do you mean that HMAC result is of length 4096?

As part of #14746, we restricted the length of approle's HMAC to 1024. This had the unfortunate effect of making it so that operations on an approle with such a name would fail.
As part of this change, I've increased the limit slightly, so that it's more permissive to names, but also made approle creation fail if the name passes this limit, so that we cannot get into this state to begin with.
