Configuring password policy on Sun ONE 5.2 Directory server
Hi!
I'm in the process of configuring a password policy for Sun ONE Directory server 5.2. The default policy or a new policy only checks for passwords' minumum length and max length. Is there any way to make it check for alphanumeric characters or non-numeric characters to increase password security? Has any one done this before?
Thanks in advance,
Regards
S.Swaminath.

With DS 5.2, this feature is not built in the product.
It is possible to write a Pre-Operation plugin that would check for userPassword modification and do all of the checks.
Sun Professional Services has written such plug-in and has it available for customers under certain conditions.
Directory Server 6.0 will have the feature built in, and a new simple Plug-in interface just for password checks.

Hi,Thanks for your reply. I will try to contact Sun support and see what results. I thought of developing a schema but since this came up as a new requirement, I thought it prudent to contact the forum.Have a good weekend.RegardsS.Swaminath.
