[Fedora-directory-users] Windows Sync and Active Directory password complexity policies

[Hugo Etievant]

hello,

The admin Guid says that : "Make sure that the Active Directory password 
complexity policies are enabled so that the *Password Sync* service will 
run. Run |secpol.msc|, and select *Security Settings*, then *Account 
Policies*, and *Password Policy*. Make sure that |Password must meet 
complexity requirements| is selected. "   ( cf 
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/ag/8.0/Windows_Sync-Configuring_Windows_Sync.html 
)

I done the installation same as required.

But after a week, I have reconfigured Active Directory and unactivate 
the "|Password must meet complexity requirements|" attribute.
Windows Sync continue to work without problem : new very simple password 
(for example, password identical to login) are synchronized between AD 
and FDS.

Why the Admin Guide says this attribute is mandatory ? The facts show 
that it is not !

Is it a bug ?


The |complexity requirements are too much complicated for my users (and 
are no configurable), i must unactivate it.|



Regards
