# UserLuaScript

A Lua script that contains functions to use for User management. If you set `UserLuaScript`, IDOL Server calls the following functions, if they exist:

- `password_complexity_check`. A function to check whether a particular choice of user password fits the complexity criteria that you define in the script. This script must accept a string (the proposed password), and return a Boolean value (true if the password is acceptable, false otherwise).

  If you set both `UserLuaScript` and PasswordStrength, IDOL Server runs the Lua script check first, and then checks that the result also meets the PasswordStrength complexity criteria.

  If you do not define the `password_complexity_check` function in your script, IDOL Server logs a warning message and continues to check by using PasswordStrength (if set).

You can use any of the standard IDOL Lua functions in your script. See Lua Functions and Methods Reference.
