Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 928486
Requirements for password should be shown at once
Last modified: 2014-06-28 11:26:40 EDT
In previous versions of EAP we could use 'a' as admin password as there weren't any password restrictions, but now password must have at least 8 characters, at least one digit and at least one non-alphanumeric symbol. Typical use-case of creating new password via add-user script for person who experienced previous versions is: ------------------------------------------------------------------ ... Enter the details of the new user to add. Realm (ManagementRealm) : Username : a Password : * Error * JBAS015269: Password must have at least '8' characters! Username (a) : Password : * Error * JBAS015266: Password must have at least one digit. Username (a) : Password : * Error * JBAS015267: Password must have at least one non-alphanumeric symbol. Username (a) : Password : Re-enter Password : ... ------------------------------------------------------------------ I believe that requirements for password should be revealed to user at once. Same issue is also for creating new user during installation via installer.
Than we should at least update add-user utility to show all password requirements before prompting a user to enter it (same as it is in -console installer now: "The password must have no fewer than 8 characters, and contain at least one number and one non-alphanumeric symbol.").
This is now addressed upstream - I would suggest we propose it for the next EAP release.
This feature now exists upstream so should just be a backport.
Verified on EAP 6.3.0.ER4.
