Validates passwords against admin defined rules to ensure minimum password strength
This Pluggable Authentication Service (PAS) plugin validates passwords against regular expression rules. These rules can ensure a passwords strength such as minimum lenth and required characthers. This plugin contains a patch to plone to use PAS validation.
Requires:
- PluggableAuthService and its dependencies
- (optional) PlonePAS and its dependencies
Installation
- Place the Product directory 'PasswordStength' in your 'Products/' directory. Restart Zope.
- In your PAS 'acl_users', select 'PasswordStrength' from the add list. Give it an id and title, and push the add button.
- Enable the 'Validation' plugin interfaces in the after-add screen.
- Click on the properties tab and edit the validation rules
- To use with plone, you need to install PasswordStrength using quickinstaller
That's it! Test it out.
Implementation
A PAS plugin for Validation checks the password against each regular expression listed in the properties. Any rules that fail result in the associated error messages being returned.
Plone doesn't use PAS to validate passwords so included is a patch to Products.CMFPlone.RegistrationTool.RegistrationTool.testPasswordValidity which makes plone use PAS validation plugins.
