kpwvalid - Checks quality of new password

B<kpwvalid>

|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The B<kpwvalid> command checks the quality of a new password passed to it
|
|
from the B<kpasswd> or B<kas setpassword> command for the obsolete
|
|
Authentication Server. It is optional. If it exists, it must reside in the
|
|
same AFS directory as the binaries for the B<kpasswd> and B<kas> command
|
|
suites (create a symbolic link from the client machine's local disk to
|
|
this directory). The directory's ACL must extend the C<a> (administer) and
|
|
C<w> (write) permissions to the system:administrators group only. These
|
|
requirements prevent unauthorized users from substituting a spurious
|
|
B<kpwvalid> binary.
|
|
|
|
The AFS distribution includes an example B<kpwvalid> program that checks
|
|
that the password is at least eight characters long; the code for it
|
|
appears in L</EXAMPLES> below.
|
|
|
|
The script or program must accept a sequence of password strings, one per
|
|
line, on the standard input stream. The first is the current password and
|
|
is ignored. Each subsequent string is a candidate password to be
|
|
checked. The program must write the following to the standard output
|
|
stream for each one:
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
C<0> (zero) and a newline character to indicate that the password is
|
|
acceptable.
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
A non-zero decimal number and a newline character to indicate that the
|
|
password is not acceptable.
|
|
|
|
=back
|
|
|
|
Further, it must write any error messages only to the standard error
|
|
stream, not to the standard output stream.
|
|
|
|
=head1 CAUTIONS
|
|
|
|
The B<kpwvalid> command is only used by the obsolete Authentication Server
|
|
It is provided for sites that have not yet migrated to a Kerberos version
|
|
5 KDC. The Authentication Server and supporting commands, including
|
|
B<kpwvalid>, will be removed in a future version of OpenAFS.
|
|
|
|
=head1 EXAMPLES
|
|
|
|
The following example program, included in the AFS distribution, verifies
|
|
that the requested password includes eight or more characters.
|
|
|
|
#include <stdio.h>
|
|
/* prints 0 if the password is long enough, otherwise non-zero */
|
|
main()
|
|
{
|
|
char oldpassword[512];
|
|
char password[512];
|
|
|
|
if (fgets(oldpassword, 512, stdin))
|
|
while (fgets(password, 512, stdin)) {
|
|
if (strlen(password) > 8) { /* password includes a newline */
|
|
fputs("0\n",stdout);
|
|
fflush(stdout);
|
|
}
|
|
else {
|
|
fputs("Passwords must contain at least 8 characters.\n",
|
|
stderr);
|
|
fputs("1\n",stdout);
|
|
fflush(stdout);
|
|
}
|
|
return 0;
|
|
}
