Project Summary
krb5-strength provides a password quality plugin for the MIT Kerberos KDC (specifically the kadmind server) and an external password quality program for use with the Heimdal kpasswdd server. Passwords can be tested with CrackLib, checked against a CDB database of known weak passwords, checked for length, checked for non-printable or non-ASCII characters that may be difficult to enter reproducibly, required to contain a non-alphabetic character, or any combination of these tests. It supports both Heimdal and MIT Kerberos (1.9 or later).
