Antananarivo, Madagascar - November 03, 2023 ## PostgreSQL credcheck extension
The credcheck PostgreSQL extension provides few general credential checks, which will be evaluated during the user creation, during the password change and user renaming. By using this extension, we can define a set of rules: * allow a specific set of credentials * reject a certain type of credentials * deny password that can be easily cracked * enforce use of an expiration date with a minimum of day for a password * define a password reuse policy * define the number of authentication failure allowed before a user is banned This release is a maintenance release to fix a major issue with the "whitelist" feature. - Fix crash when length of the credcheck.whitelist value was > NAMEDATALEN. Extension upgrade requires a PostgreSQL restart to reload the credcheck library.
