Enforce Password Rules When Reactivating an Account

Usually, when an administrator resets another user's password, the password quality rules are not applied. This means that the administrator can create passwords that would have been rejected if the users had tried to create the passwords themselves.

However, you can choose to enforce the password quality rules for all new passwords, including passwords set when an administrator reactivates a user's account.

To do this, set the following command to true:

set password-enforce-quality-on-reset = true | false;

This command means that all of the rules discussed in How to Configure Password Quality Rules and How to Set Account Expiry Rules apply to all password changes.
