Robert Levas updated AMBARI-10018:
----------------------------------
    Description: 
The password generator used to generate passwords for identities needs to 
generate passwords based on a rule set rather than just a random sequence of 
characters. 

In a KDC (MIT or Active Directory), there may be a policy in place requiring a 
certain characteristics for the password. By creating a password consisting if 
18 characters pulled randomly from 
{{abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890?.!$%^*()-_+=~}},
 there is no guarantee that any specific policy will be met. 

The following rules should be settable:
* Minimum length
* Minimum number of lowercase letters (a-z)
* Minimum number of uppercase letters (A-Z)
* Minimum number of digits (0-9)
* Minimum number of punctuation characters ({{?.!$%^*()-_+=~}})

  was:
The password generator used to generate passwords for identities needs to 
generate passwords based on a pattern rather than just a random sequence of 
characters. 

For the MIT KDC, this isn't an issue; however for an Active Directory, there 
may be a policy in place requiring a certain characteristics for the password. 
By creating a password consisting if 18 characters pulled randomly from 
{{abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890?.!$%^*()-_+=~}},
