Password Require Strong

Hello,

What will happen to users current logins if I change PW_REQUIRE_STRONG from No to Yes. I hope they will just be asked to update them the next time they login. 

Thanks in advance

Kelly

    The PW_REQUIRE_STRONG setting enforces the following rules when setting a new password:

    1. The password includes at least one upper and lower-case character;
    2. The password includes at least one numeric character;
    3. The password inlcudes at least one "special", or symbol, character (with a few exceptions;

    These rules were based on those enforced by Windows Server when it is set to enforce a strong password policy.

    Hope this helps!

    Steven, can you confirm what Gary has said that users will be asked to conform to the new rules when they are next prompted to update their password.

    We just changed this over a week or two ago and has worked the way Gary mentioned for us here at The National - all quite smoothly.

    We use a utility to reset users passwords - not sure if that had to be changed as well to incorporate the new functionality.
