### <ins>_Setup passwords complexity_</ins>
There are different levels of password complexity that comes with the policies module in openLDAP:
0: No quality checking. Any password is accepted, regardless of complexity.
1: Evaluates the password against its built-in quality checks but does not reject weak passwords. If the password fails (e.g., too short or too simple), it logs a warning but allows the change to proceed.
2: OpenLDAP strictly enforces password quality, rejecting weak passwords with "Constraint violation" errors and messages like "Password fails quality checking policy".
Minimum Password quality checking: length check of at least 56 characters, reject identical characters like aaaaaa or 111111
By default, the minimum password quality policy (pwdPolicyQuality) is: length check of at least 56 characters, reject identical characters like aaaaaa or 111111.\
The pwdPolicyQuality can be changed, we will do so later, let's understand how is it enforced for now.\
