RE: Tightening up ppolicy

["Kline, Sara" <SKline@tnsi.com>]

I found this:
http://open.calivia.com/projects/openldap/browser/check_password/check_password.c

Has anyone used this gentleman's template? I think it should work with a little tweaking. It looks like the whole module, he said that it can enforce upper and lower case and numerals. Hopefully this is good, and it helps others in the future as well.

Thanks,
Sara Kline

You write a checking module, and in that module, you do the strength tests that you require.  As noted in the text from the man page.
