Stephdl Repository

nethserver-password is a module which allows you to easily manage the password Policy (password strength and expiration delays) of NethServer.

first you need to allow my repository

yum install http://mirror.de-labrusse.fr/NethServer/6/noarch/nethserver-stephdl-1.0.0-1.ns6.noarch.rpm

Then you can install it

yum install nethserver-password --enablerepo=stephdl

You can modify the available properties of passwordstrength in the Password panel

  # config show passwordstrength 
  passwordstrength=configuration
      Admin=strong
      Ibays=strong    <----no more used
      MaxPassAge=180
      MinPassAge=0
      PassExpires=yes
      PassWarning=7
      Users=strong

You can also for each user disable the password Expiration, you need to go to the relevant User Panel (service Table)

After All, keep in mind that a strong password and a short password expiration are annoying but secure :)
