Access Unix PAM Password rules from Java?

Question

Is there a sensible way to get the *nix PAM rules from Java?

I'm writing an application that has to ensure that passwords adhere to an organizations PAM rules, and I have no idea how to get them in order to adhere to them.

Jpam could be of use for you : jpam.sourceforge.net

There are already some implementations bringing PAM to Java. For example:

There are also some works around implementations of javax.security.auth.spi.LoginModule for PAM. For example:

You can also relatively easy write your own. In the end you just have to cross the Java-native boundary.

However I'm not sure whether it will solve your problem. Because what seems to be major point here is to check whether password conforms to the rules. I don't know how to do that with PAM. So it is not about doing it from Java but about knowing what to actually do.
