Abstract
Documentation:
The password policy test is used to check specific policy associated with passwords. It extends the standard TestType as defined in the oval-definitions-schema and one should refer to the TestType description for more information. The required object element references a passwordpolicy_object and the optional state element specifies the metadata to check. The evaluation of the test is guided by the check attribute that is inherited from the TestType. NOTE: This information is stored in the SAM or Active Directory but is encrypted or hidden so the registry_test and activedirectory_test are of no use. If this can be figured out, then the password_policy test is not needed.
