User Manager Password Security (Enterprise)

User Manager Password Security (Enterprise)

Available in PagerDuty Process Automation Commercial products.

Process Automation includes the User Manager functionality to easily create local Rundeck logins. Rundeck 4.0+ include options to enforce password complexity.

Password Length

To enable a minimum password length requirement set the following setting in Configuration Management or the rundeck-config.properties file. Replace <integer> with the required minimum number of characters for user passwords.

rundeck.password.minLength = <integer>

Password Complexity

To enable password complexity enforcement set the following setting in Configuration Management or the rundeck-configuration.properties file.

rundeck.password.strength = <strength setting>

Password strength is scored from 0-4 based on the difficulty of guessing the password. Possible integer values for <strength-setting> are listed below with descriptions:

  • 0: Easily guessable: risky password. (guesses < 10^3)

  • 1: Very guessable: protection from throttled online attacks. (guesses < 10^6)

  • 2: Somewhat guessable: protection from un-throttled online attacks. (guesses < 10^8)

  • 3: Safely unguessable: moderate protection from offline slow-hash scenario. (guesses < 10^10)

  • 4: Very unguessable: strong protection from offline slow-hash scenario. (guesses >= 10^10)

The complexity check is implemented using the zxcvbn libraryopen in new window.
