Bug: Password Deny List Does Not Support Custom Regular Expressions

Version Affected: All

 
Bug Number: SAIDP-533
Bug Status: Closed - Fixed
Fixed in Version(s): 24.4.3

 

Overview

Entering a custom regular expression in the Password Deny List is not honored.
 
 

Cause

Prior to version 24.4.3, the Password Deny List did not support entering an arbitrary custom regular expression directly.
 
 

Resolution / Workaround

Upgrade to Identity Platform 24.4.3 or later, which adds support for entering a custom regular expression directly in the Password Deny List.

If you cannot upgrade yet, the Password Deny List's Advanced > Regular Expressions panel provides a fixed set of preset patterns — matching word, digit, and whitespace characters, character ranges, anchors, and quantifiers — that can be combined using checkboxes. Check whether combining these presets covers the behavior needed before assuming no option is available.

The screenshot above shows the preset regular expression checkboxes available in the Advanced panel.
