de.knightsoftnet.validators.shared.impl.PasswordValidator

All Implemented Interfaces:

javax.validation.ConstraintValidator<Password,Object>

public class PasswordValidator
extends Object
implements javax.validation.ConstraintValidator<Password,Object>

Check passwords if they fulfill some complexity rules.

• lowercase
• upercase
• digits
• special character

Using blacklist you can give a array of words which are not allowed to be part of the password. Default is no entry.
Using disalowedStartChars you can define an array of characters (String) which are not allowed as first character in the password. Default is no entry.
With maxRepeatChar you can limit the repeat of a single character, default is 0 which means no limitation.
size limits should be added by separate size annotation.
