postgresql16-credcheck Subpackage of credcheck

The credcheck PostgreSQL extension provides few general credential checks, which will be evaluated during the user creation, during the password change and user renaming. By using this extension, we can define a set of rules: allow a specific set of credentials reject a certain type of credentials deny password that can be easily cracked enforce use of an expiration date with a minimum of day for a password define a password reuse policy define the number of authentication failure allowed before a user is banned This extension provides all the checks as configurable parameters. The default configuration settings, will not enforce any complex checks and will try to allow most of the credentials. By using SET credcheck.<check-name> TO <some value>; command, enforce new settings for the credential checks. The settings can only be changed by a superuser.
