The password complexity algorithm used by APS may seem a little arcane. APS allows the user to fine-tune the scoring system that it uses.
Administrators can set the threshold, using the Complexity setting, that is required of all new passwords. Determining a value for this setting can be difficult, if not arbitrary.
APSComplexity is provided so that administrators can "get a feel" for the scoring mechanism, fine tune it, and to help them determine a proper setting for the required complexity.
APSComplexity is run with a single command line argument, the password to be analyzed. The utility will display the total complexity score and will also display how the score was determined.
APSComplexity is installed onto the SiteMinder BIN directory on a Policy Server and must be run from there (it requires access to the APS.cfg file).
