1 User-Visible krb5-strength Changes
3 krb5-strength 1.1 (unreleased)
5 Change the minimum password length in the embedded CrackLib to 8.
7 Reject passwords formed from the username portion of the principal
10 Support linking with the system CrackLib instead of the embedded and
11 stricter copy by passing --with-cracklib to configure.
13 Fix variable sizes in the embedded CrackLib on 64-bit platforms. This
14 may fix interoperability problems with databases created on platforms
15 with a different native integer size. Thanks, Karl Lehnberger and

20 Add heimdal-strength, a program that checks password strength using
21 the protocol for a Heimdal external check program.
23 The shared module now also exports the interface expected by Heimdal's
24 dynamically loaded password strength checking API and can be used as a
25 Heimdal kadmin plugin.
27 Add a new plugin API for MIT Kerberos modelled after the plugin API
28 used for other MIT Kerberos plugins. Thanks to Marcus Watts for
29 substantial research and contributions to the interface design. This
30 work is incomplete in this release, missing the corresponding patch to
33 Fixed the data format written by the included packer program to add
34 enough nul bytes at the end of the data. Previously, there was not
35 enough trailing nul bytes for the expected input format, leading to
36 uninitialized memory reads in the password lookup.
38 Add a test suite using the driver and library from C TAP Harness 1.1.
40 Add portability code for platforms without a working snprintf or other
41 deficiencies and updated the code to take advantage of those

46 The check of the password against the principal checked against the
47 fully-qualified principal, which is not the usual problem.
48 Additionally check that the password doesn't match the principal with
49 the realm removed or the reverse of that (case-insensitive).

53 The patches directory was omitted from the distribution. Really
56 krb5-strength 0.3 (2007-03-23)
58 Initial public release. Includes a patch for MIT Kerberos, a slightly
59 modified version of CrackLib, and glue wrapped around CrackLib to make
