There is no way to do that.

You can use the "passwordcheck" extension, but that will only work for clear-text
passwords.

Your only real option is *not* to use passwords in the database, but to authenticate
with an external service like Kerberos or LDAP. Then you can enforce the password
rules there.

Yours,
Laurenz Albe
