# The password validation details control

PingDirectory server provides support for a [password validation details request control](https://docs.ldap.com/ldap-sdk/docs/javadoc/index.html?com/unboundid/ldap/sdk/unboundidds/controls/PasswordValidationDetailsRequestControl.html) that can be included in an add request, modify request, or password modify extended request.

It indicates that the server should return a corresponding response control with a list of each of the requirements that the password must satisfy and an indication as to whether the proposed password satisfied.
