Re: Minimum Password Length in LSP

Thanks for the input Steve. We plan on using the exact strategy you
mentioned below. I have looked in to pGina (The pluggable MSGINA
model), but every modification so far relates to password legth in
terms of LDAP (obviously, not helpful for this situation).

If I come up with anything inventive beyond what we discussed, I will
post it here.

Thx again.

14 is the maximum and I have never come across a work around. One of the
advantages of using a password greater that 14 characters is that it will
not then be stored as a LM hash but you can disable storage of LM hashes via
Local Security Policy under local policies/security options - network
security: do not store lan manager hash value on next password change. You
still could have a user policy requiring passwords of at least 15 characters
and train users to think pass phrases instead of passwords. They probably
won't waste time trying to come up with a pass phrase of only exactly 14
characters. --- Steve

I have a group of laptops that are not (intentionally) joined to the
domain. I would like to enfore a minimum password length of 15
characters. The interface only allows me to set 0-14. Any ideas on
how to change the behavior of this?

Thanks in advance.
