Description John Mizell 2009-12-24 16:47:23 UTC
Description of problem:
Anaconda needs the ability to specify password controls
such as the following:
password (MIN or Max)length
password expires after a certin time.
password contents(i.e. must contain numeric, alphabetic, special characters, and upper case).
Password uniqueness(i.e. remembering last 3 passwords) so user cannot reuse previous passwords.
lock user out after failed login attempts.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
It is not currently implemented in Anaconda.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.N/A
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
You have to write your own commands to modify pam files to do password control.

Expected results:
Be able to put into a kickstart commands to do password controls without putting in custom commands into the post section to achieve this control.

We can probably implement these sorts of things for kickstart, provided libuser gives us a way to manipulate them, but it won't be in time for F13 nor will I add them into the UI.

Comment 2 John Mizell 2010-03-10 15:38:34 UTC
That would be fine. Just looking to be able to do this in kickstart.

Assigned to mail list is nonsense, returning to new.

Comment 4 Brian Lane 2020-10-07 20:46:26 UTC
This has been fixed using the %anaconda section's pwpolicy command:
