[jira] Created: (MRM-283) Password Length too Short

Password Length too Short

             Project: Archiva
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Robert Simmons Jr.


An 8 character password is far too shor for good security. Can we improve this to a 16 character password?

I actually wanted to resolve it as "Not a Problem" but we don't seem
to have it in this project... Fixed was closer to the truth than any
of the other options.  I intentionally left the 'fix version' blank so
it shouldn't appear in the release notes.  At least, that was the
intention. :)

Hi Wendy,

Somebody will correct me if i'm wrong ;) but the convention for
closing jira issues is to assign to yourself, and if there's no needed
work, like this case, it wouldn't be "fixed" (or it'll show up in the
changelog) but one of the others "won't fix", "incomplete" or "cannot
reproduce"

[jira] Commented: (MRM-283) Password Length too Short

Wendy Smoak commented on MRM-283:
---------------------------------

This is controlled by plexus-security, and is configurable, usually in a file called "security.properties".

Here is the default config file in svn showing the things you can change:
http://svn.codehaus.org/plexus/plexus-security/trunk/configuration/src/main/resources/org/codehaus/plexus/security/config-defaults.properties

Archiva's application.xml file contains a list of configuration files it looks for:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/archiva/trunk/archiva-webapp/src/main/resources/META-INF/plexus/application.xml

---------------------------------

True. :)

In application.xml, Archiva seems to be looking directly in ${appserver.base} and ${appserver.home}, not in the 'conf' directories just beneath them as it does for the other config files.  Is this correct?
