Description-en: Password strength checking for Kerberos KDCs
krb5-strength provides a password quality plugin for the MIT Kerberos KDC
(specifically the kadmind server), an external password quality program
for use with Heimdal, and a per-principal password history implementation
for Heimdal. Passwords can be tested with CrackLib, checked against a
CDB or SQLite database of known weak passwords with some transformations,
checked for length, checked for non-printable or non-ASCII characters
that may be difficult to enter reproducibly, required to contain
particular character classes, or any combination of these tests.
.
No dictionary is shipped with this package. A CrackLib dictionary can be
created with the tools in cracklib-runtime, a CDB or SQLite database can
be created from a password list (obtained separately) using the tools
included in this package, or both.
.
The recommended packages are needed to generate CDB or SQLite databases
and for the password history implementation for Heimdal.
