Hello,

I have been trying to increase the security of user passwords (email, FTP and MySQL).

But I could not achieve it, I already added the following variables to directodmin.conf:

enforce_difficult_passwords = 1
random_password_length = 16

But when I go to the panel, and start typing, from the third letter, the message "Too short" no longer appears. But let me create the account.

In the manual, says I need to add the following code in the javascript.html file:

var length = 8;

However, in the "evolution" skin, this file does not appear.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance.
 
Hello,

In order to make sure the values have been set correct run the following commands as root:

Code:
/usr/local/directadmin/directadmin set enforce_difficult_passwords 1 restart
/usr/local/directadmin/directadmin set random_password_length 18 restart
/usr/local/directadmin/directadmin set random_password_length_max 20 restart
