#6318: Requirements for User Passwords

Various password policies can be assigned as "Regular Expression" via OnyxAdmin.

The label RegExp (Password): can be used to define any number of regular expressions that all must be satisfied for a new user password.

For each expression a comment can be specified after // which will be displayed if the rule is not satisfied. If the comment is missing, the error message will display the regular expression that was violated.

Example of a set of rules with comment:

Expression	Passwort-Richtlinie
`.{8}`	at least 8 characters
`[a-z]`	at least one lower case letter
`[A-Z]`	at least one uppercase letter
`[0-9]`	at least one digit
`[:punct:]`	at least one special character
