Extproc is full of exploits itself.

If you cannot enforce enough password strength checking in plsql (password_verify_function) then why not use a stored procedure that calls some java class that sticks to all your business rules for this purpose?

Yes. You can put a dictionary into the DB and then query against it.

We are using a extproc library callout to the cracklib library to = enforce password strength.

Got a question about password strength. It's possible to enforce the = complexity of a password in the password_verify_function. But is there a = way to check an oracle pw against a dictionary at the time the pw gets = changed (and perhaps reject the new pw)? On UX you have the ckpw tool = where you can check against a pw dictionary. =20
Thanks,
Thomas
