NethServer Version : 7.6.1810 (updated yesterday) Module : nethserver-cockpit 0.13.1-1.ns7, System > Users & Groups module
Trying to create a user with a low (and much insecure) password policy asks you to enter passwords which are more complex than expected.
Expected results : password policy should be honored and permit the creation of a user with password complexity congruent with the chosen password policy.
Steps to reproduce :
1 - Install NS
2 - Update and install nethserver-cockpit (should be 0.13.1-1.ns7)
3 - Install Samba DC account provider
4 - Goto Cockpit interface, System > Users & Groups
5 - Reduce password policy removing the need for strong passwords
I am against this: we had to lower the password security in a lot of occasions, mostly due to explicit or implicit (given young age) resistance from “customers”. Not having this option would be quite PITA, but not the end of the world; still, I think NS will lose flexibility with this one.
