Password security options

Hello,

I am new to the moodle world. I need the support of the community.

We installed moodle at a customer. Among its security requirements:


<< The following are the requirements for the password of the user account:

1-Maximum password age - 60 days

2-Minimum password age - 2 days.

3-inactive user accounts within 90 days must be disabled. >>

Does moodle allow these options ??

No, but the authentication is pluggable, so you can use plenty of other, more refined authentication mechanisms in front of your Moodle site.

All the reading is here: https://docs.moodle.org/35/en/Authentication

If there is nothing there that suits your needs, you can find something on https://moodle.org/plugins/?q=type:auth or create your own plugin.

I'm not sure what you mean by requirement 2, but this is really identity management. We use AD to do both of the above (using LDAP plugin for moodle to talk to it).

+1 for koen's suggestion of move this side of things to a separate authentication system, and point moodle at that.
