+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #49656 +++ Better documentation for samba password requirement settings The documentation under: https://docs.software-univention.de/manual.html#users:password:samba suggest that these settings are only relevant for Windowsclients, but in my tests these were also used for the selfservice, the umc password change (in the hamburger menu) and passwd. I guess all of these use kerberos in some way? It would be nice if password policies were working with samba, that would make this bug unnecessary :) Previous discussions about that: bug 35809 bug 38749 bug 45128 bug 42592
In addition to the remarks in the initial bugreport we should consider to document the usage of FGPP/PSO. The status of Bug 45128 indicates that they are supported in our Samba-implementation (even without the availablity somewhere in UMC) Customer need to apply different password policies especially in School environments.
