NetBox version

v3.0.8

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

Introduce a new configuration parameter to expose Django's built-in support for customizable password validation. Essentially, we'll either wrap or directly expose the AUTH_PASSWORD_VALIDATORS setting.

I believe these are enforced only for local user accounts, but will need to check.

Use case

Allows NetBox administrators to enforce password policies for locally-authenticated users. For instance, by setting a minimum length and/or character set.

Database changes
