** Description changed: [ Impact ] ppm is an OpenLDAP module for checking password quality when they are modified. Passwords are checked against the presence or absence of certain character classes. The ppm module exists in the openldap since version 2.5 (openldap-2.5.19+dfsg/contrib/slapd-modules/ppm/). The default openldap overlay does not support many password quality check, for example it does not support checking whether a password contains multiple character types. While the module source code exists, it was not enabled in build by default. ppm however is enabled in openldap 2.6 in plucky. - By backporting the ppm module, existing installation remain unchanged - since this is just a new module which is not enabled by default. + By backporting the ppm module, existing installation remain unchanged since this is just a new module which is not enabled by default. + This adds a new build-time dependency for libcrack2-dev, used by bin:slapd-contrib then. For all versions starting at jammy, the PPM functionality is tested in autopkgtest. [ Test Plan ] - * install slapd & slapd-contrib + * install slapd & slapd-contrib * run autopkgtest d/t/ppm-contrib: tests the module functionality in an ldap-tree. [ Where problems could occur ] * Due to the new module, existing installations could be affected due to the new ppm.so files and documentation, and the installation could run out of disk space. * Using this module by choice in an existing installation could introduce a new password policy the users are unhappy with, hence resulting in a decrease in productivity. [ Other Info ] * This feature was requested to be useful for Ubuntu 22.04
