Univention Bugzilla – Bug 42962
overridePWHistory and overridePWLength not evaluated for all applicable account types
Last modified: 2019-01-03 07:19:57 CET
It is not possible to override the password history or password length for all account types, as both options (overridePWHistory, overridePWLength) are only evaluated for samba and posix accounts: options=['samba', 'posix'] Setting a 'too short' or already used password for a simple authentication account is not possible, as the constraints are applied in any case.
Customer affected. Created a "LDAP-User" and it was not possible to overwrite the password settings with the mentioned options.
