Bob: We've been using this with a group of logins for some time now and
it works perfectly for us. We set up a combination of the password
composition policies and they all work well. We did turn off the
"simple pattern" option because we found that with a shorter password,
it was too difficult to come up with a new password. The Expiry warning
and timing works well too. . . .
Currently our staff using it are using Windows XP and we are using JRE
1.6.0_02, in case that might make a difference???
Doesn't make a huge difference here. I've tried setting the policies
using 1.6.x and 1.5.0_12 and testing logins using 1.6.x and 1.5.0_12,
and although a few more password composition pieces work after using
1.6 to set the policies, they are not consistently enforced,
enforcement appears to be JRE-version dependent, and I've yet to have
a completely successful test result.
