Configuration

Settings

The requirements for account name and password are specified in /configuration/units/urb-account-management/accountNameAndPasswordRequirements.js. The constants exported by this module are:

Constant Description
AccountNameLengthMin Minimum length of account name that would allow logging in.
AccountPasswordLengthMin Minimum length of account password that would allow logging in.
AccountPasswordStrengthMin Minimum password score that would allow logging in. Recommended value 60. Password with score below this will show with a red bar.
AccountPasswordStrengthGood Minimum password score which would show as green. Password with score below this will show as yellow.

The algorithm for scoring the passwords is set in /configuration/units/urb-account-management/scripts/scorePassword.js. One algorithm is provided with the boilerplate, and it has two settings that control its behavior. However, a completely different algorithm can be specified. Here is an example of using the algorithm provided with the boilerplate:

import scorePassword_Simple from '../../../../units/urb-account-management/scripts/scorePassword_Simple'
export default function( pass )
{
  return scorePassword_Simple(
    pass,
    5.0, // uniqueLettersAwardUntilRepetitions
    10, // variationAwardCoefficient
  )
}

Extensions to the login screen and create profile screen which allow to extend the user interface are in /configuration/units/urb-account-management/webapp/components/AccountManagementExtensions.jsx.

Additional requirements for the account name, and alias for the account name are also specified in /configuration/units/urb-account-management/accountNameAndPasswordRequirements.js:

Constant Description
AccountNameAlias Name that will be used for the text box with the account name. Can be "Handle", "Account name", "E-Mail", etc.
AccountNameAdditionalValidation Function that can specify additional requirements for the account name.

Here is an example how to make AccountNameAdditionalValidation require that account names are emails:

import { validateEmail } from '../../../scripts/validation'

// ...

function AccountNameAdditionalValidation( AccountName )
{
  return validateEmail( AccountName )
}
