Check password

[René Houba]

In a VL Web component a user can change the existing password of the current user.

I want to check that the password at least contains:
1. One lowercase character.
2. One uppercase character.
3. One special character.
4. One number.


Does anyone build something like this already?

Hi Rene

This can be done in RDMLX, but it's far easier to use a regular expression. However, as these aren't available in RDMLX yet, I've attached an export of a widget that does the job.

This uses the following expression that I found somewhere on the internet

"^(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[0-9])(?=.*[!@#\$%\^&\*])"

RDMLX support for regular expressions is available in our development build. GA date is yet to be confirmed.

Simple webpage below showing its use

Thanks Stewart, will test this tomorrow

Hi Stewart,

Thanks for your example. I tested it and it works!!

The Widget you created is called Regex.
I now want to use your example, but I want to use the Widget name DIL_Check_Valid_Password.

So I copied the Implementation part into my Widget component and compiled the new Widget, but this does not seems to work. I see no methods created after the compile (see attachment).

What do I need to do for this?

Hi Rene,

you'll need to manually add the Widget's public interface.

Alternatively you should probably have done a Copy from the right-click menu on Stewart's widget.

That would have copied interface + definition.

Hi Danny,

Thanks, that worked .
I used right mouse to copy the Widget Component into a new one and with that I copied the Interface and its definition!!
