===Password Strength Checking===
*How can I change password strength & what do the strength settings mean?
You are strongly advised not to use weak passwords on your sme server as this only reduces security.
Note also that pam authentication requires that passwords be at least 7 characters long, so setting a password that is shorter than that may cause other problems later.
The available setting choices are:
strong = The password is passed through Cracklib for dictionary type word checking as well as requiring upper case, lower case, number, non alpha & 7 characters.
normal = The password requires upper case, lower case, number, non alpha & 7 characters.
none = The password can be anything as no checking is done.
Please note that "none" does not mean no password, it just means no password strength checking, so you can enter any (weak) password you want.
To set password strength do:
config setprop passwordstrength Admin strengthvalue
config setprop passwordstrength Users strengthvalue
config setprop passwordstrength Ibays strengthvalue
where strengthvalue = strong or normal or none
eg Although strongly discouraged, to disable password strength checking for Users do:
config setprop passwordstrength Users none
To review the current settings do:
config show passwordstrength
which should display something like:
passwordstrength=configuration
Admin=strong
Ibays=strong
Users=strong
