Password Validation MinLength not checked, not going to be?

2003-11-23 Thread Joe Hertz
Depends=required,minlength doesn't work (despite the example in SIA and
all over the net now...).

According to http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19595
this bug is marked as WontFix as Password fields are deliberately not
checked in this way for security reasons

Should I interpret this as declarative that any javascript validation of
a password length is inherently insecure I have a hard time
believing that given javascript supports this in the language.

People keep submitting this one, obviously not getting it (like me!). 

What's the logic here??

Of course, right after I send it, I find the updated bug report under

Hmmm...don't know about depends=required,minlength, but
depends=required,minlength,mask seems to be working for me.  The snippet below
correctly generates three different types of error messages as expected.

I guess I'd agree that required,minLength is a little lame for password
validation, but hey, they're your business rules...

Oh, and it's minLength, not minlength.  Maybe that's the problem?

..and right after I send my reply, I remember that I have the html:javascript
tag commented out to test server-side validations...

I'd like to be able to use html:javascript to generate validations for
selected fields, and let others pass through to the server-side code, for just
this reason.  There would have to be a way to indicate in validations.xml that
for a field with depends x, y, and z, javascript should be generated for x and y
and z should be validated by the server-side plugin.

Anybody have any ideas about this?
