Password policy
This module provides a way to specify a certain level of password complexity (aka. "password hardening") for user passwords on a system by defining a password policy.
A password policy can be defined with a set of constraints which must be met before a user password change will be accepted. Each constraint has a parameter allowing for the minimum number of valid conditions which must be met before the constraint is satisfied.
Example: an uppercase constraint (with a parameter of 2) and a digit constraint (with a parameter of 4) means that a user password must have at least 2 uppercase letters and at least 4 digits for it to be accepted.
Current constraints include:
- Digit constraint
- Letter constraint
- Letter/Digit constraint (Alphanumeric)
- Length constraint
- Uppercase constraint
- Lowercase constraint
- Punctuation constraint
- History constraint (checks hashed password against a collection of users previous hashed passwords looking for recent duplicates)
