It could be pam_pwquality.so
You may also want to check /etc/security/pwquality.conf
It could also be pam_passwdqc.so or pam_cracklib.so depending on the system builders choice.
This assumes you are doing local authentication and not using IPA which would have it's own Password Policy.
Good Luck. Been there and know what you are dealing with.

I'm trying to disable complexity checking during account creation. I am in the process of creating a user account with a simple password on Fedora 33. The GUI does not let me proceed because the password is not complex enough. I can't increase complexity because I am working with 70 year old users. The GNOME settings do not appear to have a setting to disable complexity. The man pages for PAM modules is at https://nam01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url="">, but I am having trouble parsing them. The conf files don't appear to be commented, and the man pages fail to explain things like "system-auth" or give an example of changing complexity. # grep -IR complex /etc/pam.d/ # grep -IR crack /etc/pam.d/ # I am mostly lost because I can't seem to get a toe hold on the conf files. What is the conf file that needs to be fixed to disable complexity checking during account creation? Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ Pam-list mailing list Pam-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://nam01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=""> |
