Topic: Password stranth

[Swartkat]

Hey guys I'm a noob with the whole SME server, so far great but there is one thing, when i set the password strength to none for i bay and users, the i bay works but the users password strength doesn't change, i had to figure out a password like Aa1@23456 lol, just didn't wanted to take any other password. i got the new 7.4 if someone can just help me that would be awesome Thanks

can you post the output of:

Code: [Select]

config show passwordstrength
You will still need 7 characters as documented here:

hi

welcome to the forum

please post the result of

Code: [Select]

config show passwordstrength

if you prefer, you can install a server-manager panel to set password strength and, eventually, password ageing..

Code: [Select]

yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-password

as you are a new user of SME, I ask you to read carefully the documentation (link is above) and to use the search function before posting, as 99% of your questions have already been answered.

thank you
Ciao

I googled it quickly, what is the difference between Users and users?

Admin= Strong
IBays= None
Users= Strong
users= None

so i set the users instead of Users? huh?

Ok got it to work, thanks anyways for the replies, but still would like to know the difference between Users and users

One capital letter. One is exactly the same as 'Users' which is the property value used by the SME server, and the other is not the same as 'users' and will therefore be ignored.

Not all the world is like Microsoft Windows, where Foo and foo are the same (mostly).

That is the reason we asked for the output of the code we gave you. In linux almost everything is case sensitive. When you originally tried to change password strength you issued the command: config setprop passwordstrength users None
instead of: config setprop passwordstrength Users None.

This is not an uncommon error to make.
