Overview

In Kerio Connect, you can add a setting that forces the local users to create strong and complex passwords. A complex password:

• Must be at least 8 characters long
• Must include at least 3 types of characters (lowercase, uppercase, numbers, symbols)
• Cannot include user's domain and username, and any part of the user's full name (longer than 2 characters)

Process

To configure complex passwords for individual domains:

1. In the Administration interface, navigate to Configuration > Domains.
2. Select a domain and click on Edit.
3. On the Security tab, enable the User passwords must meet complexity requirements when creating or changing the password option.
4. Click on OK.
   
   

Confirmation

From now on, each time local users change their password in Kerio Connect Client, they must create a password which complies with Kerio Connect's complexity requirements.

Note: Remember to enable users to change their passwords in Kerio Connect Client. This also applies when administrators change passwords via the administration interface.
