ISSUE TYPE: Bug Report
ENVIRONMENT VERSION:

  • Zmbackup Version: 1.2.1
  • Zimbra Version: 8.8.8
  • Linux Distribution & Version: Centos 7
SUMMARY

We use mandatory rules for accounts where users need to choose a strong password with capital letters, characters and numbers.
The password generated by the script doesn't create a password strong enough and fails.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Try to install in a environment that forces passwords with these requirements.

ACTUAL RESULTS

Install fails

Hello @mailanetworks,

I don't think creating a strong password will be the way to solve any problem. Sooner or later I will need to generate a patch for another even stronger password.

What I gonna do is still generate this weak password, but give you an option to input your password instead. Do you think this is a good way to solve your problem?

Regards,
Lucas Costa Beyeler

Hello @mailanetworks,

Could you try again? Please use the branch 1.2-version to install your Zmbackup. This fix will be included in version 1.2.2 after I finish developing all the new features and bugfix.
