Abstract
A network system server that provides password composition checking for a plurality of clients is disclosed. The network system server includes a main data store, a security server, which is coupled to the main data store and the plurality of clients, a password synchronization server, which is coupled to the security server, a plurality of password strength servers, each of which is coupled to the password synchronization server, that provides password integrity among the plurality of clients so that each client maintains a password whose composition is consistent with the network server system. Each of the password strength servers is uniquely programmable with respect to performing password composition checking.
