CentOS

Hi guys,

Im looking where to change this passwd requirement in 7.5.

Do you know where I can disable it?

Regards,

Alvaro M.

Anyone please? Already read the documentation in 7.5 and no advise in how to disable this password control.

Tks

Where are you even seeing this message? It's not something that I've ever seen before...

Here:

[root@vmi188197 ~]# passwd alvaro
Changing password for the user “alvaro” …
Changing password for “alvaro”.
New UNIX password:
BAD PASSWORD: This password has a strength of 20. A strength of 65 or higher is required.
New UNIX password:
BAD PASSWORD: This password has a strength of 18. A strength of 65 or higher is required.
New UNIX password:


Im using centos 7.5 its a webserver with whm.

Also,

When I want to choose mysql users password, I get the same message, that I have to use a strong password.
I need to use some personalized passwords in this system.

Sounds like the requirement is coming from your whm panel. Since that is not part of CentOS we can't advise.

I do not believe that CentOS produces these messages. Everything I see via google about it says that this is cpanel specific so you need to ask them about it.

I've never seen this message before neither, what confs/rules do you have on pam?
Also do you have something set on /etc/security/pwquality.conf ?

On MySQL you can bypass this message/situation by logging in mysql (with a user that has high privileges) and write: After that you can create a user and set a password for a MySQL user that you want, this tough is temporary, if a restart occurs and you want to create another user with a "weak-normal" password you will have to make this command again.
