APEX

Hello,

In my application, I have the functionality in place so that certain users can create new users (using the apex_util.create_user procedure) . Users can also change their own passwords.

I have a regular expression that validates the password for length but I would like to have stronger passwords.

I see that 3.0 lets you set password policies in the admin section so I figured I could use this instead of writing more regular expressions.

I have been looking through the documentation for an api procedure that makes sure passwords meet the security requirements set but I can't seem to find anything. Is there a way to do this or can the password security policies not be used if passwords are being created within an application and not the apex admin page?

Thanks
