hello,
The admin Guid says that : "Make sure that the Active Directory

then *Account Policies*, and *Password Policy*. Make sure that |
Password must meet complexity requirements| is selected. " ( cf http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/ag/8.0/Windows_Sync-Configuring_Windows_Sync.html
)
I done the installation same as required.
But after a week, I have reconfigured Active Directory and
unactivate the "|Password must meet complexity requirements|"
attribute.
Windows Sync continue to work without problem : new very simple
password (for example, password identical to login) are synchronized
between AD and FDS.
Why the Admin Guide says this attribute is mandatory ? The facts
show that it is not !
Is it a bug ?
The |complexity requirements are too much complicated for my users
(and are no configurable), i must unactivate it.|
Based on my experiments, you don't have to have complexity
requirements turned on in AD and FDS but it would be a good idea to
ensure any requirements are the same in both. Otherwise some passwords
might work and others not.
You can turn off the requirement in FDS - I don't remember where and
don't have access to my system right now - but try right clicking in
the directory console at the userRoot, I think there is something
about this in the menu.
