Hi list,

I'd like to do something rather simple (at least to me) with password policy : * Ensure the userPassword is 6 characters long at least

• Ensure there's at least onenumber
• Ensure there's at least one uppercase character

I found out my first condition can be set by using the pwdMinLength attribute and the ppolicy overlay, but what should I do for the other two ? If it implies using pwdCheckModule and writing a C function and plugging it into openldap then I find it rather difficult for an ldap administrator just wanting to enforce policies...

Is there any plan to make things easier, like having openldap providing 2 or 3 default C functions for this module ?

IMHO it would be worthwhile providing some modules by default.

Finally, why is it taking so long for the IETF to approve the ppolicy draft published in 2001 ? Has the effort been abandonned ?

AFAIK there is a new draft ...
