I hava know a litter about linux passwd policy,I have establish a new user
useradd testuser
And I want to set the testuser's passwd as abtestuserab
I input
passwd testuser
the input abtestuserab
It's failded,the terminal reported
BAD PASSWORD: The password contains the user name in some form
So,how to make the passwd valid. the /etc/pam.d/system-auth is like this
auth required pam_tally2.so onerr=fail deny=10 unlock_time=600 root_unlock_time=600 audit
auth required pam_env.so
auth sufficient pam_unix.so nullok try_first_pass
auth requisite pam_succeed_if.so uid >= 1000 quiet_success
auth required pam_deny.so
account required pam_unix.so
account sufficient pam_localuser.so
account sufficient pam_succeed_if.so uid < 1000 quiet
account required pam_permit.so
password requisite pam_pwquality.so minlen=9 try_first_pass local_users_only retry=3 authtok_type= enforce_for_root ocredit=0 lcredit=-1 ucredit=-1 dcredit=-1 [badw
ords=first2012++]
password required pam_pwhistory.so remember=10 use_authtok enforce_for_root
password sufficient pam_unix.so sha512 shadow nullok try_first_pass use_authtok
password required pam_deny.so
session optional pam_keyinit.so revoke
session required pam_limits.so
-session optional pam_systemd.so
session [success=1 default=ignore] pam_succeed_if.so service in crond quiet use_uid
session required pam_unix.so
Following works for me:
/tmp ❯❯❯ sudo su
[sudo] password for wani:
/tmp # ❯❯❯ useradd testuser
/tmp # ❯❯❯ echo -e "abtestuserab\nabtestuserab" | passwd testuser
Changing password for user testuser.
New password: BAD PASSWORD: The password contains the user name in some form
Retype new password: passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
/tmp # ❯❯❯
If I am root user, then the BAD PASSWORD text is just a warning.
