krb5-strength provides a password quality plugin for the MIT Kerberos
KDC (specifically the kadmind server), an external password quality
- program for use with Heimdal, and a password history implementation for
- use with Heimdal. Passwords can be tested with CrackLib, checked
- against a CDB database of known weak passwords, checked for length,
- checked for non-printable or non-ASCII characters that may be difficult
- to enter reproducibly, required to contain particular character classes,
- or any combination of these tests. It supports both Heimdal and MIT
- Kerberos (1.9 or later).

DESCRIPTION
that only passes passwords that resist attacks from both Crack and Jack
the Ripper using the same rule sets. It also supports doing simpler
dictionary checks against a CDB database, which is fast with very large
- dictionaries, and imposing other programmatic checks on passwords such
- as character class requirements.

+ within edit distance one of a dictionary word. It can also impose other

For Heimdal, it includes both a program usable as an external password
quality check and a plugin that implements the dynamic module API. For
To run the test suite, you will need Perl 5.010 or later and the
dependencies of the heimdal-history program. The following additional
