• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

Set password strength in Plesk

Hi All,

I am running a plesk 10 server, and this afternoon I change somewhere in the control panel so that the password policy (strength) is "very high".

Now I am creating sites, but this password policy is TOO high.

But I cannot find a way to put it back to "normal", I have searched everywhere in the controlpanel but cannot find it anymore.

So my question is where to find the policy of setting the password policy higher or lower for creating a site.

Thank you already for your help.

Tim

I had a similar problem and found the solution. To control required password strength for subscription/domain users, you use the 'server_pref' CLI command.

/usr/local/psa/bin/server_pref

I recommend reading the help:
/usr/local/psa/bin/server_pref --help

Basically:
/usr/local/psa/bin/server_pref -u -min_password_strength <very_weak|weak|medium|strong|very_strong>
