Hi,
We're looking at the possibilities to implement our "Authentication and
Password Policy" on Solaris systems. We have mainly Solaris 8 systems
much more than Solaris 9 systems.
My question is if it is possible to implement such policy stated below:
-- Passwords that validate a candidate username's access to <ourCompany> systems shall be at a minimum six characters in length for functional users, 8 characters for administrators. Passwords shall include at least two alphabetic, one numeric or special character (e.g., an asterisk or a dash), and may contain at least one upper case and one lower case character. Systems shall prohibit the use of simpler passwords. -- I wonder if anyone has experience with this kind of implementation on Solaris 8/9 systems. If yes, would you recommend local solution (via PAM modules) or Identity Management (i.e. LDAP autentication) usage? Thanks in advance, -Bora
