Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Posted: 16 Nov 2005

Q:
Does anybody know of a password checker that can be used to check for weak passwords?

A:
First, you can enable password complexity on the password policies. Then, you can try DSRazor from www.visualclick.com. It checks on security in your tree and can perform maintenance tasks. You can also create your own tasks with it.

Another product is a security auditing tool - Bindview's bv-control from www.bindview.com.
