Fine Grained Password Policies

I'm disappointed to see that in ARS 7.2, still, the Generate Password function does not take into account Fine Grained Password Policies.

Has anyone else found a way to get around this? I have different departments that need to have different length passwords and our service desk don't like that the auto-generate function then gives the error saying that it doesn't match the complexity requirements (and I agree it's not ideal)

Looking at the Script Module "Generate User Password" I can see that it's possible fairly easily to force all generated passwords to a longer lengh, but I need it to either check the Fine-Grained Password Policy applied, or to be able to amend it and say something like - if the user is a member of group XXX, then it needs to be Y characters

In PS I'd find this fairly easy, but for some reason Quest still seem to be using VBScripts for this.......

Any suggestions or pointers would be very much appreciated.

  • Thanks. I'd certainly be interested to see if anyone else on here has implemented their own for such a purpose... Out of interest, do you know if Quest have any plans to get rid of the vbscripts that ship with ARS in favour of PoSh?
