Situation

How do I set a max value for password policies using DRA?

Does DRA support a max setting for UpperChars, LowerChars, Chars, Digits and Special policy values?

Resolution

Directory and Resource Administrator (DRA) 8.0 and prior does not currently support "max" or maximum password policy settings that correspond to the "min" or minimum settings:

  • MinUpperChars
  • MinLowerChars
  • MinChars
  • MinDigits
  • MinSpecial

Directory and Resource Administrator 8.0 SP1 and later supports changing these values from within the Delegation and Configuration Console.  To utilize this new feature, upgrade to the current version of DRA.
