Possible issue with password quality settings in SSP 1.6

[unquietwiki]

Hey all. Per mention in #918, whenever I have the config.inc.local.php file set to use any password quality values (length or special chars), it declines the new password with a "Insufficient quality" error. Digging into the code, I believe the error is tied to behavior in lib/functions.inc.php or htdocs/js/ppolicy.js. I had SonarLint installed, and it found a number of warnings with the code in regards to boolean condition matching; test editing to resolve most of those issues did not change the situation. $pwd_check_entropy is set to false in the config file, so ZXCVBN shouldn't be a factor here.

Please set $debug to true and provide the logs.

Okay... so, if I set $pwd_min_length = 10, I get the "insufficient quality" error in the browser, but no entries in audit.log from those attempts. If I set it to 0, then I'll get an "ldaperror" from my #918 problem. I tried the F12 developer console in my browser, but wasn't seeing any errors being thrown out.

Regardless of the setting, I am getting a Smarty error in the error.log of Nginx whenever I do try to do a password reset. I don't think its the cause of the quality check error, but might be useful as a data point.

Check the error log (depending on your installation, in Apache log or PHP FPM log)

Audit log is only here to trace events

There is nothing in the PHP FPM or Nginx logs that correlates to my attempts at a reset with the check enabled.
