Question Website and Domain Name Creation Error

Jason Dao

New Pleskian
Dear All,
Im using a Plesk 10 Domain Licence version to host a website along with a docker image. But when i try to create a domain name below error occurs and I'm unable to change the hosting type as well because I'm getting the same error when i tired it. Please assist me on this.

" rror: System user update is failed: Unable to create system user: Unable to execute usermng: usermng: PAM password change failed: 11, Have exhausted maximum number of retries for service Error description: BAD PASSWORD: is too simpleBAD PASSWORD: is too simpleBAD PASSWORD: is too simple Additional info: . usermng: Failed to set password for user 'test' "
 
It seems that the password for system user does not specify the requirements set in PAM. Try to apply the following fix:

  1. Back up the file /etc/pam.d/system-auth:

    # cp /etc/pam.d/system-auth{,.orig}

  2. Open the file /etc/pam.d/system-authin the text editor.

  3. Replace the line starting with password requisite pam_cracklib.so with the following one:

    password requisite pam_cracklib.so try_first_pass retry=3 type=
