Is it possible to set password rule, like lenght, complexity, etc.

Thanks

Currently you can only set the password length if you are using Alfresco for authentication. Default password length has to be between 3 and 32. You can only change the min length. You can change it in /tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/web-client-config.xml.

Look for the following line:

<password-min-length>3</password-min-length>‍

You can of course change this easily. If you set up the Alfresco SDK http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Alfresco_SDK there is a example of writing your own Custom Login page (http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Customising_The_Login_Page). Follow the example and override org.alfresco.web.bean.LoginBean's validatePassword method.

   public void validatePassword(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object value)
         throws ValidatorException
   {
      int minPasswordLength = Application.getClientConfig(context).getMinPasswordLength();
      
      String pass = (String) value;
      if (pass.length() < minPasswordLength || pass.length() > 32)
      {
         String err = MessageFormat.format(Application.getMessage(context, MSG_PASSWORD_LENGTH),
               new Object[]{minPasswordLength, 32});
         throw new ValidatorException(new FacesMessage(err));
      }
   }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
