@Nonnull List<String> getPolicyDescription(boolean hasOldPassword)
hasOldPassword
- whether or not the request concerns the rules when the old password
is provided. This is true
for the case where an existing user is changing
his/her own password, but not when an administrator is changing another user's
password or a new account is getting created. The rule list should probably be
different for these cases. For example, it does not make sense to tell an
administrator that the new password can not be similar to the old password when
the administrator does not even know what the old password was. Nor does it make
sense to say this to a new user, for whom the whole idea is completely irrelevant.Copyright © 2002-2017 Atlassian. All Rights Reserved.
