MariaDB starting with 10.1.2
The cracklib_password_check plugin was introduced in MariaDB 10.1.2
CrackLib is a password strength checking library. It is installed by default in many Linux distributions and is invoked automatically (by pam_cracklib.so) whenever user login password is modified. Now, with cracklib_password_check password validation plugin, one can also use it to check MariaDB account passwords.
The only configuration option of this plugin is cracklib_password_check_dictionary that sets the path to the CrackLib dictionary. If not set, the default CrackLib dictionary path is used (often /usr/lib/cracklib_dict). If the password validation fails, the original CrackLib error message can be visible in a warning (use SHOW WARNINGS).
