Re: Password Policy

Hello,

Yes, I am aware that, if you specify a password that doesn't meet
password policy you will be told so in the form of some exception/error
code.

However, if AD is enforcing policies and AD knows what a valid password
criteria is, its fair to expect an API to validate a given a password
against the policy and generate the one which AD policy likes.

Looks like there is no way to acheive this using an API.

Thanks.
