operator doesn't know that the min length is implicitly set here if it's configured between 1 and 11. Update the config description that min 12 length is considered for CKS users, or better we restrict the min length to be >= 12 for all (to be strong for all cases).

@sureshanaparti
I do not understand your concern
this is used to generate a strong random password for CKS user (the password is unknown for every one)

@weizhouapache not the password, the minimum length considered for generating it (as the config setting is overridden if it set between 1 and 11)

I think nobody will care about the length of password of CKS user, as nobody knows and uses the password.
12 is good enough in my opinion. But if user wants to have user passwords with more length, just respect it.

as you are addressing it, better not allow less than 10 as minimum length for passwords (if not in 4.20.2, we can address in 4.22, need to add a check for config)

actually CKS user password policy check is ignored, that's the main change of this PR
if (!User.Source.CKS.equals(source)) {
passwordPolicy.verifyIfPasswordCompliesWithPasswordPolicies(password, userName, getAccount(accountId).getDomainId());
}
the password policy check has several checks (regex, username, min length, min uppcase, min lowercase, min digits)
ideally there should be a method to generate a random password which matches all the password requirements, it looks difficult so far.

Got closed too soon! Code looks good to me. Thanks @weizhouapache for the fix
If possible, this can be included in 4.20.2

thanks @shwstppr 😄 This could still be improved. I created a simple PR #11639 for quick fix |
