Change the random generated password

  • 1.  Change the random generated password

    Posted Jan 26, 2018 10:15 AM

    For password complexity we would require a more complex password when using the guest self registration.

    The password complexity should be 10 char, including both numeric and alfanumeric. I found the option that the password complexity is what we require, but I can't seem to find any option that the randomly generated password should also be that.

     

    I'm thinking this should be somewhere in the self registration > register > forms ? But the random_password only has initial value "array (  'generator' => 'NwaGuestManagerGenerateRandomPassword',)"

    Is this the field I should modify? And if yes, modify how?

    This seems to be working most of the time. But every so often it generates a password that is not strong enough and hence the user can't log in due to "password not matching criteria".

    I would like to continue on this question. I know i can specify the password length in configuration -> guest manager.

    However, this impacts also other screens/services which require today only 4 digits. How can i change in 1 specific form the random generated password length to 6 digits ? The function used is : array ( 'generator' => 'NwaGuestManagerGenerateRandomPassword',) Are there any options we can add ?

    You have two options.  Per https://www.arubanetworks.com/techdocs/ClearPass/6.9/Guest/Content/Reference/GuestManagerStandardFields.htm?Highlight=random_password_length, random_password_length and random_password_method can be added to any form and those values will override the defaults.  Though in the form, these fields will not actually be saved into the Guest data, just used in the generation.  These would affect passwords generated server side on creation.

    Your example was a generator that auto fills a value into the HTML form that is then submitted as is with the rest of the form.  Technically that is open to tampering, though generally a problem and we default doing that a few spots anyways.  You can get it generated gain if you set Use Default under the Advanced checkbox of that field.  In order to get overrides you pass them as the generator_args:

    array('generator' => 'NwaGuestManagerGenerateRandomPassword', 'generator_args' =>   array(array('random_password_length' => '4')))​
    Note the double array(array()), this function gets passed things an odd way.
    You can throw the method override in there too.
    array('generator' => 'NwaGuestManagerGenerateRandomPassword', 'generator_args' =>   array(array('random_password_length' => '4', 'random_password_method' => 'nwa_novowels_password')))​
