See owncloud/QA#574 which will create the test plan for the password_policy app. That should be reviewed to check that the list of general automation areas above covers what is reasonable from the test plan.

ToDo later:

• check public link password expiration date limits *
• check forcing password expiration via occ command *
• check general time-based password expiry *
• check that required notifications are sent before and at password expiry *

The above points need thought about how to "black-box" test the effectiveness of expiration of authentication set for future dates that are well in advance of current time. Moved to issue #126

• check various password complexity combinations when the admin adds a user in the user_management app
• check various password complexity combinations when the admin changes a user password in the user_management app

These require both password_policy and user_management apps installed together. See owncloud/QA#585 for discussion.

See issue #126 for remaining items.
This first part is done.
